History in a Pecan
Shell
The name was given for the many curves in the road leading to the
former town. A post office operated from 1901 to 1911 and the town once had a
gin and of course, a store. At the end of WWII Zigzag had a school and Baptist
church, but today only the church remains. |

Note
What's this about Zigzag. It isn't on any of my maps. If it's six
miles west of Devine, it has to be along FM 2200.
I took a picture of the Zion Primitive Baptist Church just south of 2200 and the
sign to one just north of 2200 on a county road... The Zion Primitive Baptist
checks out on distance and name. No sign of other notable structures. The Black
Creek Church's sign was more notable than the church, thus no picture. |
