Morse History
in a Pecan ShellCattlemen
Robert and James H. Cator are credited with being the first settlers back in the
1870s, but it wasn't until the railroad (North Texas and Santa Fe) arrived in
1929 that a community was formed. Charles A. Morse, chief engineer of the railroad
became the town's namesake. In the late 1930s the Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf
Railroad crossed tracks with the Santa Fe making Morse a two-railroad town. A
post office was granted in 1929 and the Morse Monitor was first published that
same year. The 1939 population was just under 100 citizens, doubling within 10
years. Morse and Pringle merged in 1977. In 1980
Morse's population swelled to 150.
