History

The area was settled around the Civil War era; the community itself was not established until the 1890s. In 1895, a post office was established and remained in operation until 1929. The community had a general store, a cotton gin, a gristmill, and a stone and sand company in 1914. Sixty people lived there that year. In the mid-1930s, the community had 75 residents and two businesses. As the population declined in the 1950s and 1960s, it then rose again due to its proximity to Lake Livingston. The population remained at 75 in 1990. In 2000, the population was 81.[1]
