History in
a Pecan Shell
The town was founded by early settler James A. Potts who had donated
the land for the town in 1876. Potts also donated a right-of-way to
tempt the Missouri, Kansas and Texas to run a spur from Denison, which
it did. The now prospering community incorporated in 1880, and had
a healthy population of 200 by 1885. A post office was granted in
1891.
The population was 500 in 1925 but declined to around 358 by the mid
1930s. It has since grown due to its proximity to Denison.
