History in
a Pecan Shell
The town was named after (George Whittenburg), son of
a prominant rancher.
A grade school operated for several years and during the boomtimes
of the Panhandle Oilfield, a post office was established (1927) in
a store. It closed during WWII.
Gewhitt had a population of sixty during the 1940s, but it declined
to an estimate - then to an unknown. |
