History
in a Pecan Shell
The name had originally been Acorn in the
1870s when the town was formed.
The post office opened in 1881 with
Dan Easterly Sr. as postmaster, but when the railroad came to town (The International-Great
Northern) a new post office was formed and the name changed for the new post master
(Dan J. Easterly Jr.).
The population had been 700 people before WWI
and by 1930 it was down to 250. By the 60s it was down to 200 and currently it
is about 61. |
