History
in a Pecan Shell
In 1909 promoters planned a town with a flowing well as a centerpiece.
A post office opened the following year and stayed open until 1923.
Before WWI, Flowella had a population of 60 but the growth of Falfurrias
kept the population of Flowella small. They did have the necessary
amenities of a town - including a hotel.
The town's name appears on county maps - but residents seem to have
used cemeteries in Falfurrias since none are shown in the Flowella
vicinity. |
