History in
a Pecan Shell
Like neighboring Groom, Lark was platted
to meet the arrival of the Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf Railway
line. The two met in 1903 and Lark was named in honor of area rancher
Lark Stangler.
A post office was active from 1909 until 1915 when mail was delivered
seven miles west at Conway. Reopened
from 1925 to 1957, mail was then rerouted to Groom, 7 miles east.
Lark's population was a mere ten persons through the 1930s but doubled
to 20 by 1940. The TxDot map of Carson County does not show Lark
as having a cemetery.
