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

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
