History in a Pecan
shell
Sandy suffered frequent attacks by Indians, but the land was
nonetheless settled and the townfolk were granted a post office in 1872.
Sandy became the consolidated school for the neighboring communities of Hickory,
Spring Creek and White Oak, but like larger fish eat the smaller - the Johnson
City school "ate" the one at Sandy.
Sandy's population never went
over 30 according to the Handbook of Texas. |
A Visit to Sandy,
TexasPhotographer's
Note:
Sandy Texas
is located at the intersection of FM 1323 & FM 1320 in Blanco County and about
8 Miles NW of Johnson City. The old store
at the intersection is about the only visible evidence remaining of Sandy TX.
Most of the few residences are off the road and very scattered. The old secluded
cemetery is located a couple miles south and a short drive off of FM 1320. - William
