History in
a Pecan Shell
The community was begun as a Seventh-day Adventist colony around 1914.
It’s early history is underreported and it remains primarily a Seventh-day
community with a church and a school (the Adventist Jefferson Rural
Academy).
From the early 1960s when it’s population was a reported 142 people,
it declined to 74 in the 1970s, growing to an estimated 250 by the
end of the 1980s. |
