History in
a Pecan ShellSettlement
began with Agapito Sandoval, one of the sheepherders from New Mexico who came
with Casimero Romaro.
In 1887 the Fort Worth and Denver City Railroad
made it a switch on their line. In the early 1940s a sand and gravel operation
opened here. There is no town center or much of anything. Today only the cemetery
remains.
