History in
a Pecan Shell
The town was named for Tama Alexander, daughter of the first postmaster.
The towns boundaries were Cowhouse Creek, Browns Creek, and Henson
Mountain.
The post office opened in 1900 and mail was rerouted through Gatesville.
The population in 1940 was a mere twenty-five people and two years
later, the town was appropriated by the government to become part
of Fort Hood. |
