History
in a Pecan Shell
The town had a post office in 1892 which
was discontinued in 1906. 50 people lived there in 1933. At one time there was
a saloon, a blacksmith and a store. It was named by town founder John Halamicek
for his birthplace in Europe. |

it wasn't for the sign, you'd never know there was once a town here

Texas Forum Subject:
Roznov, Texas
I saw your page on Roznov, Texas and decided to contribute what I know about that
place. My wife's great grandfather was John Halamicek. He named the village in
Fayette County, Texas after his birthplace, Roznov pod Radhostem in the
Moravian part of what is now the Czech Republic.
He bought a
store at Roznov, TX shortly after he married Miss Anna Baron in 1885. He added
on to his property there and at one time there was a school, a post office, a
molasses mill, and homes for his tenants. Mr. and Mrs. Halamicek raised their
12 children at Roznov, and continued to live there until they died. They
are buried in the Halamicek Cemetery which is near Roznov at the junction
of FM 1291 and C.M. Allen Road, about 5 miles east of Fayetteville.
Attached (above) are some pictures of Roznov and the Halamicek homestead
that used to stand at Roznov. - Greg Stone & Louisa Halamicek Stone, August
