History in
a Pecan Shell
Very little is recorded of Jamestown’s early years. The Handbook
of Texas has described it in 1936 as being “a factory, two other
businesses, a church, a cemetery, and around thirty dwellings.” The
1948 population was 75 and the local school merged with the Van ISD
in the early 1950s. Fifteen homes, a cemetery and clay pit were shown
on 1950s maps – and in the 1970s the same number of dwellings were
reported. The 1990 population of seventy-five has declined to the
current 70 (2000). |
