History in
a Pecan Shell
Collingsworth
County made organizing school districts a priority in the 1890s
and Rolla was on of 39 throughout the county. While there are no
population figures available, Rolla did have a post office from
1894 until 1910.
After that date, mail was routed through Wellington.
Rolla did have a community church and a brick schoolhouse, however
no dates or photographs are available.
The village managed to stay afloat through the Great Depression
and the postwar years.
