History in
a Pecan Shell
Both creek and
settlement were named for the Ioni Indians that camped here. Evidence
provided by tools and arrowheads. The town peaked with a population
of 60 in 1884. Although it had a school, three churches and a store
as will as a gristmill and gin, by 1896 it only had 25 residents.
The town faded away in the early years of the 20th Century and today
there is little left. It stopped appearing on maps in the 1920s. Proof
of its existence appears here in the form of a post mark from the
John
Germann collection. |
