History in a Pecan
Shell
The community was first settled by buffalo
hunters Thomas Price and J.J. Murray in the mid 1870s. The community was granted
a post office in 1880 and named after Murray. Murray was perhaps too close to
the county seat to develop on its own and although
early figures aren’t available, as late as 1980 there were only 29 residents.
It has increased for the 2000 census to 45. A
