History on a Pinhead
The
town of Schattel got off to a late start by Texas standards. The idea of namesake
S. H. Schattel was to create a colony for his fellow Bohemians in the 1920s. The
town was granted a post office in 1924 and within a few years the town had a school.
Figures aren't available for the Depression years, but after WWII
the town had fifty residents. In 1970 the town had a population of 130 - the same
figure used for the 1990 census.
