History in
a Pecan Shell
The community
received a post office in 1908 that stayed open through May of 1917.
Thereafter, mail was routed through Shamrock.
Abra was one of 39 school districts in Collingsworth
County although it merged with the Samnorwood
district in 1934. The 1940 census counted only 10 residents and
it eventually was absorbed by Dozier.
