History in
a Pecan Shell
Settled in the late 1800s, little of Oaks history has been recorded.
Population figures are not available – past or present. The town no
longer appears on the state map. Resident children once attended the
“County Line School” which has since disappeared. The town’s population
declined as people left for more lucrative job opportunities after
WWII. The town
has long been listed as “a dispersed community.”
Photographer's note:
“What you see here is all that’s left. An old store and the cotton
gin across the highway.” - William
