History
in a Pecan Shell
Named for settler W. D. May, the town was started
with a store opened by May’s brother Nathan in 1879 and a post office was granted
in 1881.
The town was a stop on the Brownwood North and South Railway
from 1907 until the line was given up in 1927.
In 1940 May had 500 residents,
but it began a slow decline over the decades to the current 285. |
