History in
a Pecan Shell
Settled in the
1880a in hopes of becoming a prosperous wheat-growing and ranching
town, Record had a hard time attracting residents. Even with an infusion
of people from Illinois and Indiana during the early 1900s, it wasn’t
until 1925 when the town was granted a post office. It lasted just
over three years, closing its doors in April of 1929. People lost
heart and whatever the population was, the community was dropped from
maps in the 1930s. |
