History
in a Pecan Shell
The name comes from a ranch whose brand was a circle
on the back of cattle.
From 1918 to 1954 the settlement a dozen or so
houses and a six-grade school. Naturally there was a store/ post office and a
gas station. In 1949 the community, reached it’s high water mark of about 100
people.
When the store burned in 1954 it pretty much finished the town
– since it was also the post office.
By 1980 the population was 49 and
a few years later only the Baptist minister and his family was left. |
