History in a Pecan shell

Sandy suffered frequent attacks by Indians, but the land was nonetheless settled and the townfolk were granted a post office in 1872.

Sandy became the consolidated school for the neighboring communities of Hickory, Spring Creek and White Oak, but like larger fish eat the smaller - the Johnson City school "ate" the one at Sandy.

Sandy's population never went over 30 according to the Handbook of Texas.
