History
on a Pinhead
There are huge gaps between the few known facts about this Caddo (one
of four by that name in Texas). Its settlement occurred around the
Civil War years and the next mention is the mid 1890s when their school
had an enrollment of 64. No population figures are given, but there
were enough people to support a gin and a church in the 1930s. After
WWII both school
and gin closed leaving the church, a cemetery and a few private residences.
