History on
a Pinhead
Founded
just after the Civil War, the community was most likely settled by
relocating Southerners. In 1890 a post office opened under the name
of Dixie but closed just fifteen years later. Growth was somewhere
between slow and non-existant. In the middle of the Great Depression
only 25 residents were counted. They did manage to have a church,
store and school, but after the rural post-war exodus of the late
40s, both store and school had closed. It now bears the dreaded designation
of "dispersed rural community." |
