History
in a Pecan Shell
This tiny town may hold the record for locations. Five at last count. The
community’s first school conducted classes in a tent in 1888, the same year it
acquired a post office. The namesake was Rube Clayton, manager of a local ranch.
The
1940 census counted 60 people served by three businesses. By 1980 it had declined
to just 21 – the same number used for 1990. |
