History on
a Pinhead
The town may have been named for either the bois d'arc trees - which
were also called Osage Oranges, or the Indian tribe. People started
arriving in the area sometime around 1860. A post office was in operation
from 1878 all the way until 1965. The town might have prospered except
for a fire in 1936 that destroyed most of downtown. Osage's school
consolidated with Crawford
ISD in 1947. The Baptist church shown above has been in continuous
use (on Sundays) for over 100 years. |
