History
in a Pecan Shell
The town began as a stop on the Chicago, Rock Island and Mexico Railway
in 1901. Someone must've thought the state line was an appropriate
place for a depot. Platted in 1906, it had 300 people by 1910 with
a school, bank, and a grain elevator. A post office (Texas
side) was only open for a four month period 1909-1910.
In 1932 the state line was resurveyed to run 465 feet south of what
had been the State Line Road. This "relocated" most of the town's
businesses to the Oklahoma side. |
