reminder of Simpsonville

It's possible
that the structure above was the former cotton gin of 1928.
History
in a Pecan Shell
Information on Simpsonville is less than abundant. We
were unable to find an origin for the town's name. It did start life about the
year 1910 on the Buckeye and Collegeport Railroad.
The town got a post
office the same year, although it closed in 1917. The population at the time was
only 10 people and Palacios acquired
the mail route through Simpsonville.
By the 30s, the county had moved
the road, the railroad didn't
exist and the cotton gin was a thing of the past. What few students were produced
by a population of 40 were absorbed by the Palacios
ISD.
