History
in a Pecan Shell
The town's namesake - Michael S. Acuff arrived in the area around 1891 but
the town didn't get their first school until 1902. A six-room brick schoolhouse
was built in 1924. Acuff had its own post office from 1903 to 1912 and things
have been pretty quiet since then. During the 1940s Baptists and Methodists shared
the same church and the population swelled from (no figures available) to 50 people
in the 1950s. It has since declined back to a more manageable population of 30. |
