History in
a Pecan Shell
The town was founded
by one Malachi Click whose family provided a good percentage of the
population. A post office was granted in 1880. The town did once have
a school, store and church but the post office was closed sometime
after 1940 and the town has maintained a low historic profile ever
since. The only population figure dates from the mid-1960s when 20
people lived here. The town has no cemetery - the closest being two
at nearby Honey Creek.
Click was submitted for inclusion by Robin Nichols of Willow
City, Texas who wrote: "In the early part of the twentieth century
it was the site of a dispute over cotton
(?) and 4 people were shot in the general store. The old general store
and post office are still there but abandoned." |

Subject: Naming
of Click
Click, Texas was named for my great-great grandfather. I have an envelope
that was kept by family members that has a Click, Texas postmark.
There is quite a bit of history about the Click and Walker family
that has been donated to the Llano,
Texas city library. Many of the family members are buried in the
Comanche West Cemetery just 'south' of the former town. The name of
the cemetery is sometimes referred to as the Click and Walker cemetery.
