| History
in a Pecan Shell
Sometimes known as Dye Mound, the community
was settled around 1880. A post office was granted in 1884 and remained open until
1905. No population figures are available for most of Dye’s history but it’s said
that until recently, the town never had more than 60 people living there. The
2000 Census reported an all-time high of 200 residents.

Note:
This is Dye, what there was of it. The old church is named Dye
Mound but all the maps have it as Dye. Not much there. Couldn't even find
the cemetery. - Barclay
