History in
a Pecan Shell
No photos (and very little information) available
Olga was near the Coke county line in Nolan County.
There is no record available how the town came to have such a Russian-sounding
name. The community was abandoned by 1940.
The first postmistress had the pioneer-sounding name of Annie Parker
and apparently liked to link events with holidays. The town's post
office opened on Columbus Day, 1892, and was moved to Blackwell
on Halloween, 1910. |
