History on
a Pinhead
Born with the railroad
and died by the railroad.
No one is quite sure of Saxet’s peak years or if ever had peak years.
It developed because of its railroad spur and its ability to ship
cattle and produce but population figures or dates aren’t available.
It did not have a post office although it appears on maps from the
1920s. Its unique claim to fame is its name. Saxet is Texas spelled
backward. Sacul, Texas is another East
Texas town with a reversed spelling (Lucas). |
