History on
a Pinhead
The community
had been granted a post office in 1885 which closed sometime after
1915. Today the community once again has a post office as well as
a high school and the historic Salem Cemetery on spur 106.
Sayers remains on the state map although there’s no discernable
town center. Several business line the highway including the hub
of activity – a convenience/ grocery store/ gas station.
After WWII
the town lost most of its business due to its proximity to San
Antonio.
