History in
a Pecan Shell
A post office was
opened in Tuff in 1901 but was discontinued in 1926. The town was
once called Crockett after Andy Crockett – the man who donated
land for the first school (1883). In 1914 the town had a population
of 50 and a store. By 1925 the population was down a mere ten Tuffites.
The school consolidated with Medina
in 1930. The community all but disappeared.
Recently some original buildings have been restored by local people
who can't bear to see the town disappear without a trace. |
