History
on a Pinhead
On an unnumbered county road between Dawson and Purdon, Babylon was
founded by former slaves. A church was formed in the mid-1890s and
a school was opened around 1900.
Babylonians traded in Dawson, or Purdon, but after WWII most all residents
moved away. Detailed TxDoT maps of Navarro County do not even show
a place name or a cemetery. |
