History in a Pinecone

Settled around the time of the Civil War, the town had a school sometime around 1887, and a post office around 1900 which closed in 1912. The Diboll Lumber Company operated two lumber camps nearby. The town suffered the fate of many logging communities in East Texas.

Texas Escapes, in its purpose to preserve historic, endangered and vanishing Texas, asks that anyone wishing to share their local history, stories, and vintage/historic photos of their town, please contact us.
