History
on a Pinhead
Flatonia
merchant E.A. Arnim requested that a spur be built here off the mainline
of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad. The spur was named after
Arnim’s daughter.
It was (like the community named Lena
just north along the railroad) a shipping point for cut wood. Like
Lena, Floy never developed as much as
a single business since Muldoon
supplied its needs.
Floy did, however, have its own school. Muldoon,
being a voting district and having a post office suppressed any chances
of Floy becoming a proper town although it did appear on early maps.
A charcoal plant near what had been Floy, is the most noticeable landmark.
