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. |
