History in
a Pecan Shell
The settlement
probably began in the late 1800s and was named for the Lumpkins family.
James W. Lumpkins came to Ellis
County in 1874, purchased land, and began farming in the area.
A cotton gin in the community probably served local farmers, but by
the 1930s Lumkins stopped appearing on highway maps. No population
estimates were available until 1990 and 2000, when the community reported
twenty residents.
Photographer's Note:
Lumkins is due south of Forreston
on Holder Road @ Onion Road just off US 77. - Barclay
