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. |

Photographer's
Note
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. - Barclay

Zigzag,
Texas ForumThe
caption to one of the pictures mentioned the Black Creek Baptist church, where
my grandparents went to church (and my mother currently attends), is located at
the corner of Co Rd 660 and Co Rd 761. Approximately 1.5 miles north on 660 if
you turn right from 2200W.
It is most certainly 'notable'! It is over
100 yrs old. I was baptized there myself! - Kevin D. Jackson, Afghanistan,
