History
in a Pecan Shell
Settlement began in the late 1870s, and the community had a post office
by 1884. By 1890 the post office was joined by a store, church, gin
and gristmill. In 1903 the Ida post office closed and the population
dropped in the 1930s to a mere 25 people - half of its high water-mark
of 50. From World War II the estimated population has remained at
50 - a figure the town is evidently comfortable with. |
