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. | |
