History on a Pinhead
Prior to 1947 the community had been called Carvajal Crossing since
it was near a ford on Cibolo Creek by that name. It was renamed after the Pawelek
family.
The only population figures available were from the mid 1960s
when 75 people lived around the businesses on the highway. Detailed TxDoT maps
of Karnes County do not show a cemetery for the community. |
Pawelekville,
Texas Forum Your
photo entitled “signs of the times” is 8 miles south of Kosciusko
at the Intersection of Highway 123 and FM 887 in a town known as Pawelekville.
Pawelekville is even easier to miss than Kosciusko.
Only one orange blinking light on HW 123 and a 45mph speed limit sign mark the
town.
It’s good to know that someone takes the time to keep up with
the history of the lesser known areas that are barely considered “towns.” Thanks
for that. - David Scheffler, Kosciusko, Texas, November 26, 2005
