History in
a Pecan Shell
The town of Briscoe
had no 19th Century history. It was formed in 1929 by the Lone Star
Township Company and named for J. B. Briscoe, an official with the
Panhandle and Santa Fe Railroad. A post office was opened the following
year and from a population of 150 in 1939 - it peaked in the early
1960s with 270 citizens - dropping to 210 for the 1980 Census and
further still to the current 135 (shown for both the 1990 and 2000
Census). |
