History
in a Pecan ShellIn
the late 1880s Enos and Thomas Seeds owned the Grasslands Ranch here. The community
grew around the ranch headquarters and is Lynn County’s oldest community.
The
embryonic town was granted a post office in 1889 – the county’s second. The Grasslands
Ranch was subdivided into farms by 1900 and the region became a cotton-based
economy. The population remained small with a reported population of just 67 residents
by 1930.
The town grew to 200 for the 1940 census and remained there for
the next three decades. By 1980 it had declined to 61 where it has remained through
2000. | |
