History in a Pecan
ShellFirst settlement
occurred prior to 1836. The source of the name is lost to history, although one
suggestion is the crooked course of the town’s major street. Pin Hook had once
been applied to the area where present-day Paris is located and it is believed
that was the source.
The local school was named Faulkner after
a prominent citizen which set up a rivalry that was to endure until settled in
1988. Periodically (since 1946) the sign designating the town was changed between
Faulkner and Pin Hook. The matter was settled in favor of the name Pin Hook by
the Lamar County Commissioners Court. | |
