History
in a Pecan Shell
The town of Briscoe had no 19th Century history.
It was formed in 1929 by the Lone Star Township Company and named for J. B. Briscoe,
an official with the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railroad. A post office was opened
the following year and from a population of 150 in 1939 - it peaked in the early
1960s with 270 citizens - dropping to 210 for the 1980 Census and further still
to the current 135 (shown for both the 1990 and 2000 Census).
