History in
a Pecan Shell
Settlement
began in the late 1870s, and the community had a post office by 1884.
By 1890 the post office was joined by a store, church, gin and gristmill.
In 1903 the Ida post office closed and the population dropped in the
1930s to a mere 25 people - half of its high water-mark of 50. From
World War II
the estimated population has remained at 50 - a figure the town is
evidently comfortable with. |
