History in
a Pecan Shell
From Handbook
of Texas Online:
"Red Bank, ten miles northeast of New
Boston in northeastern
Bowie County, was settled between 1830 and 1845 and named for
the color of the soil in the hilly region. A post office operated
there in 1901 and 1902 with James Hubbard as postmaster. In 1984 Red
Bank had two businesses, a church, two cemeteries, and scattered houses.
It was still listed as a community in 1990. By 2000 the population
had reached 125."
