History on
a Pinhead
The
President of the Beaumont and Sour Lake Construction Company (G.W. Meeker) is
the probably 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. |
