History
in a Pecan Shell
A very short history of Echo from the Handbook of Texas Online:
Echo once had it's own post office, depot and identity. It was on
the MKT line two miles south of Temple.
The town had been known as Miller before 1884. The railroad
built a line called the Belton Railroad off the MKT that year and
the town grew up where the two lines intersected.
In 1884 a post office called Echo was granted but was discontinued
10 years later.
In 1890 Echo had a depot, a railroad agent, and seven citizens. In
1948 Echo consisted of a few buildings and it was about this time
it lost its identity as a separate town. Today it is totally within
Temple's city
limits. |
