History
in a Pecan ShellThe
town came into being as a crossroads community in the 1880s. The intersection
of four "lanes" furnished the town's name. The town was granted a post office
in 1888. According to the entry for Laneville in the Handbook of Texas, nothing
much happened in Laneville from it's beginning until 1950. The big "event" that
year was being included on the list of Rusk County's 14 operating post offices.
Laneville's population reached its high-water mark with 320 people. |
