History in
a Pecan Shell
In 1903, a small store was in operation in northwest Madison County.
The proprietor – one George Donaho applied for a post office and the
authorities granted it under the name George, Texas.
A gin was built and was located to the rear of the now-expanded store.
The population in the 1930s was given as 50. Several other businesses
were in operation and it looked like there might be a future for George.
But after the school was consolidated with Normangee, it began a decline.
Both store and post office closed in 1954.
The population wasn’t available after 1959, when 50 people were still
reported as living in George. |
