History
in a Pecan Shell
There had been a post office called Taopi here in
1890 but the town's name comes from one R. L. McCaulley. The change was made in
1893. The Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway arrived in 1906 which made McCaulley
Fisher County's premiere town. Nearby Hamlin drew off some of the town's population
and after a few fires - the damaged buildings were never rebuilt. McCaulley remains
on the map with 119 citizens - an increase from the 1990 figure of 96. |
