History in
a Pecan Shell
Midfield reached its high population in 1914 when there were about
300 Midfielders.
It was a stop on the railroad (The Texas and New Orleans) and
had two general stores, a lumberyard, a bank and it was even connected
with the outside world by telephone. The population was halved by
1925 and the blow that kept Midfield down was the school consolidation
in 1949.
Today, Midfield is surrounded by sod farms - an industry that the
early settlers never imagined. |
