History in
a Pecan Shell
No directions,
no population and very little history, most of what is known of Roca
Springs comes from the research John
Germann made for the cover in his vast collection of Texas
postmarks:
Post Office Dates of Operation: 1883-1891
First Postmaster: Charles Carroll Gale, landholder, rancher, formerly
a railroad superintendent (1833-1891, Postmaster 1883-1889)
Named for
the "Rocks" at the site of the springs there. |
