History in
a Pecan Shell
The first settlers were the Atkinson brothers (W. I. and T. S.),
who established their families in dugout homes in1890 and planted
cotton.
A post office was established in 1902 and a school, store and cotton
gin all began operations in 1904. A telephone
wire strung on a barbed wire fence connected Quail with Wellington.
In 1910 the Quail Feather was first published. A new school was
built in 1927 and the town's population peaked in 1930 with 300
people.
