History
Coldwater was near Coldwater Creek in northern Dallam County. The
school community had a store and a few scattered residences in 1947.
Mail was delivered from Dalhart. Coldwater declined by 1950, after
the consolidation of the county's school districts. The school was
subsequently turned into a community hall for area farmers and ranchers.
The population in 2000 was fifty-three.
