History in
a Pecan Shell
In 1904 the St.
Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway was completed and the King
Ranch operated the site as a shipping point. It never developed
into a town but was one of the ranches division headquarters.
After WWII Norias
had the railroad depot and a school for ranch families. The cemetery
remains but the “town” only appears today as an entry point to the
King Ranch. |
