History in
a Pecan Shell
No
photos (and very little information) available.
Olga was near the Coke
county line in Nolan
County. There is no record available how the town came to have
such a Russian-sounding name. The community was abandoned by 1940.
The first postmistress had the pioneer-sounding name of Annie Parker
and apparently liked to link events with holidays. The town's post
office opened on Columbus Day, 1892, and was moved to Blackwell
on Halloween, 1910. |
