History
in a Pecan Shell
The former community is located one half
mile east of the former International-Great Northern Railroad tracks. A date of
origin is unknown but in the mid 1930s there still remained a school and two churches
which served farmers of the area. The school merged with the Whitehouse
ISD in the early 1950s. By the 1970s the town was already well on it’s way to
becoming a ghost town with only the New Canaan Church and a cemetery to mark what
was left of the community. | |
