On Cibolo Creek,
near Selma, No Directions Available
– not on maps
History in a Pecan Shell
The Handbook of Texas allows that the town was “probably” settled
around 1900. It was first named Landa, but the name was changed to
honor Charles Lux, the town’s first postmaster. The post office opened
in 1915 but closed its doors soon after. That year the population
was reported as 35 residents. As hard as it is to believe – the town
declined from that number – although it managed to hold on through
the Great Depression. The population was given as 30 for both the
1930 and 1940 censuses but after WWII
the town was bullied into oblivion by the rapidly growing towns of
Universal City and Selma.
