History in a Pecan
Shell
The Indian Creek community (Comanche County) was originally a
civilian fort built in 1851, as a defense against the Indians. It was one of the
first towns in Comache county. The name of the settlement came from the steep-sloped
creek that rises a mile north of present-day highway 67 / 377 and runs east for
approx. 25 miles passing through the city of Comanche
and Indian Creek (community) before joining the Leon River, 4 miles N of Gustine.
A cemetery is shown on TxDoT maps of Comanche county, although it is unnamed. |
