History
in a Pecan Shell
T. W. Hart established his ranch headquarters here in 1899. Part of
this establishment involved skiding his house from neighboring Swisher
County – miles to the East. In 1900 a post office was opened in the
Hart house and they started selling groceries as well. The first school/
church was a single building built in 1902.
Hart was organized in 1925 when the Fort Worth and Denver South Plains
Railway announced they would build a depot. The depot was finished
the next year. In 1928 the business district moved nearly a mile to
be on the railroad. The school was moved to be nearer the town center
in 1936 and by 1940 the town had a population of 600.
