History on
a Pinhead
Established sometime
before 1900, the town had been granted a post office in May of 1899.
The name seems to have come from the Phillipines since the Spanish
American War was then current news. The post office was moved
to Jayton,
Texas in 1930 and although it was reportedly still in existence
in the 1940s, the community has since disappeared from maps. |
