History in a Pecan
Shell
The town, which dates to the 1880s, was once called Banner
until 1900 when the time came to apply for a post office. The source of the name
is not reported although the postmaster probably knew. John O'Brien was the first
and last postmaster - but the year of its closing isn't known.
The town's
hopes of prosperity were dashed when the railroads found other routes.
In 1940 Neinda's population was given at 75 which decreased to only 31 for the
1990 census. The city cemetery is still maintained by an association and a Pioneers
Reunion still holds a homecoming each year. | |
