History in
a Pecan Shell
Settled in the
early 1870s, it was named after Sam and W.T. Bunger. The underpopulated
town was too close to the county seat to insure growth, but a post
office opened in 1909.
The post office closed in 1920 but reopened the following year and
remained open until the mid 1950s.
The 1940 census counted 25 residents and remained near that level
until the 2000 census counted 40 residents. |
