History in a Pecan
Shell
Midfield reached its high population in 1914 when there were about 300 Midfielders.
It was a stop on the railroad (The Texas and New Orleans) and
had two general stores, a lumberyard, a bank and it was even connected with the
outside world by telephone. The population was halved by 1925 and the blow that
kept Midfield down was the school consolidation in 1949.
Today, Midfield
is surrounded by sod farms - an industry that the early settlers never imagined.
