History
in a Pecan Shell
First known as Cotton Plant, Texas,
the town had a post office under that name in operation from 1850 through the
end of the Civil War. A new post office opened in 1876 under the name Iron Bridge.
The population in the mid-1880s was 150. The post office closed in 1891. In 1905
Iron Bridge reported two schools with a total enrollment of 129.
Iron
Bridge melted away into oblivion - it was dropped from maps as early as the 1930s.
