History in
a Sunflower Kernel
Ranching brothers
named McKeloey of Fort
Worth sold their ranch about 1924 and the town came into being.
The name was a land promoter’s dream, and indeed, there was a shift
from ranching to agricultural crops like sunflowers, wheat, and sorghum.
In 1940 the town had a population of fifty people and three stores.
In 1980 Goodland had all the basic necessities for a small town -
a post office, store, a grain elevator and a cotton gin. |
