History on
a Pinhead
The President
of the Beaumont and Sour Lake Construction Company (G.W. Meeker) is
the probable namesake. When the Beaumont, Sour Lake and Western Railroad
connected Beaumont with Sour
Lake around 1904 the town of Meeker appeared. Proximity to Beaumont
spared the community growing pains and it has remained quietly keeping
its distance every since. The most obvious sign that it’s a separate
community and not a subdivision is the blue water tower. |
