History in
a Pecan Shell
Charles
and Mahala Edwards set up their store on the Cadiz-Oakville Road
(present-day FM 1203). When the application for a post office was
submitted, Mrs. Edwards became the honoree. Although the post office
was short-lived, the local school (est. 1914) lasted many years
longer. In 1945 it merged with the George
West ISD. By the mid 1960s, the site was vacant of store and
school. The proximity to the county seat stymied growth and there
is no evidence that Mahala had anything resembling a "business district."
