History on a Pinhead

This rural community developed around a communal well in the late 19th century. A few small businesses were developed, but no population figures were kept. Possum Trot appears to have had a peaceful existence and has escaped fires, floods and tornados. Keeping with a long-standing tradition, population figures are still not available in 2019.
