History in
a Pecan Shell
From 1901 to 1904 the community had a post office named String.
There was also a school (Dyess Grove) and reportedly two businesses
in the early 1930s. Somewhere along the line people started using
the name Stringtown for the community and although it has no distinct
boundaries or appears on the state map, the Dyess Grove Church still
stands in Stringtown. |
