History on
a Pinhead
The town has virtually
no 19th Century history. It did, however, have enough people in 1915
to warrant its own post office. The town was a stop on the St. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico Railroad in the mid 1930s when the population
was 150. It has remained near that level ever since, reaching a high
of 165 for the 1990 census and declining to 140 for 2000. |
