History on a Pinhead
The
community appeared around the turn of the 20th century. Due to its proximity to
Hearne, growth didn’t stand a chance and the town
was content to exist with church and school. Soon after opening, it was decided
that even the school wasn’t necessary and it closed.
What little history
Black Jack experienced is held in the Robertson County history books and the town
is considered a “dispersed community.” A
