History on
a Pinhead
The town dates from the 1840s when it was first settled alongside
the Old San Antonio Road. It later became a stop on the Katy Railroad
around 1900 – and very little has happened since. The first available
population figures showed 40 people here in the 1980s.

Subject: The Meaning of "comal"
I would like to note that "comal" does not mean basin in Spanish.
For starters, it is an indigenous word in origin accepted into the
Spanish language because of its popular use. "Comal" is a slightly
curved pan made of clay or metal on which tortillas are cooked and
coffee/cocoa beans are toasted. The Spanish word for basin is "Cuenca".
