History
in a Pecan ShellNamed
appropriately for it's nearness to nothing, Seclusion began in the 1840s when
received land grants along the east bank of the Navidad River. A church (Methodist)
and a school called Boxville were built. The community had a post office
in operation from 1879 through 1914. The land around the community lives up to
the name and the flat acreage is used for rice production. Due to the proximity
of the river, flooding is a common occurance. In the 1950s, enough gas was discovered
to construct a gas plant. Other businesses left long ago and the few students
who live here commute to Hallettsville
schools. The Bright cemetery is the nearest to Seclusion. | |
