History in a Pecan
Shell
Settled in the late 1840s around the the Enon Baptist Church
(1848), a school was built sometime before 1900, and by 1906 there were two schools
teaching just over 200 students. A post office named an early settler named McPeek
was opened in 1903 and closed two years later.
Throughout the Great Depression,
Enon kept enough people to still call itself a town but after WWII
the residents moved and the school merged with the one in Harmony.
Today,
the estimated population is 204. | |
