History in a Pecan Shell
Named after a huge
tree that grew in or near the town’s main street, Postoak developed in the late
1870s. It acquired a post office in that decade and the town had most essential
businesses by the 1880s. The community enjoyed a peaceful history without any
disasters, feuds or calamities. The population has been consistant from the 30s
through the 70s – just above 100 residents. It declined in 80s – reaching 79 for
the 1990 Census – the same number reported for the year 2000. A
Visit to Postoak, TexasPhotographer's
Note:
Postoak
Texas - Appears to have once supported a small business district. Certainly
more than any of the many small 'towns' I visited today, at least more of the
buildings are still there. The small white building appears that it might have
been a church at one time. - Mike
