History on
a Pinhead The
town’s post office opened in 1897 although it closed its doors just eight years
later. In the mid 1930s there was a presence on local maps that showed two businesses,
but that was then. The local school was consolidated with Deport schools.
Hoover,
Texas TodayPhotographer’s note:
“This is just a name on a map as there
is virtually nothing there now. It was even hard to find with my GPS map system.
It is just an intersection of various one-lane, back-country gravel roads. It
is a peaceable place as there is only a scattering of residences and farm buildings.
If any one is interested in seeing this place it is located 3-miles due east out
of Pattonville on the Pattonville-Hooverton Road. The sign says Lamar roads 15100
and 15170 but, you had better have some good county maps and know what you are
doing to find it.” - Gerald
