History in
a Pecan Shell
The community was
granted a post office in 1908 although there’s no population estimate
from the period. In 1933 there were 30 residents counted but the post
office was discontinued at the end of the decade.
After WWII,
the community still had an estimated 30 residents, as well as a functioning
school and one business. After the school was merged with schools
in Hemphill in the 1950s, it lost
part of its identity. In the 1960s the construction of Toledo
Bend Reservoir made the town collateral damage and it was flooded
for the common good. Toledo
Bend Reservoir became operational in 1968. |
