History in
a Pecan Shell
A post office opened in Utica in 1890 when the population was an estimated
100 persons. The figure of 100 was still in effect when the post office
closed in 1905. The 1907
postal map still shows the town.
Utica disappeared completely from maps and from Smith County records. |

I believe that
the population for Utica is still here just South East of Red Springs
4-way Crossing, today part of Utica serves as home to the Werner's
Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge (www.tigercreek.org) and several homesteads
(About 15 home sites in all). The original post office was torn down
and reconstructed into a Rock House (Iron Ore) now known as the Mullins
House. - Brian Werner of Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge, March 02, 2005
