History According
to the Handbook of Texas:
[Key] had a population of ten and three businesses in 1930. The Key
Baptist Church was consolidated with the Pioneer Bethany and Mount
Olive churches in 1914. After a church fire in 1923 part of the church
community moved three miles south to build the Midway Baptist Church,
while the remaining congregation built a new church at Key, which
was expanded in 1948. In 1947 Key had a school, a church, five businesses,
and seventy-five people. The population was seventy-five in 1950 and
forty in 1980. |
