History
in a Pecan ShellA
crossroads town, Type was built by Swedish immigrants around the turn of the century.
The town’s first school was built about a mile south of town and a post office
operated breiefly (from 1902 to 1904). A Swedish Evangelical Church was organized
here in 1908.
Population figures aren’t available for the early years but the 1940 census showed
only 20 residents and a single business (a store / filling station).
Type
and Coupland schools consolidated after WWII
and the figure of 40 residents has been in use from the late 1940s until 2000. |
