History on
a Pecan Shell
The town's namesake
was J. C. Curry who arrived in the area in 1881. It enjoyed a brief
boom in the 1920s after oil was discovered. The population swelled
to 300 but declined just as fast once the oil disappeared.
Curry is now on the list of ghost towns that have been submerged under
man-made lakes. |
