History in a Pecan Shell

In 1909 promoters planned a town with a flowing well as a centerpiece.

A post office opened the following year and stayed open until 1923.

Before WWI, Flowella had a population of 60 but the growth of Falfurrias
kept the population of Flowella small. They did have the necessary amenities of a town - including a hotel.

The town's name appears on county maps - but residents seem to have used cemeteries in Falfurrias
since none are shown in the Flowella vicinity.
