History in
a Pecan Shell
Like neighboring
Groom, Lark was platted to meet the
arrival of the Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf Railway line. The two
met in 1903 and Lark was named in honor of area rancher Lark Stangler.
A post office was active from 1909 until 1915 when mail was delivered
seven miles west at Conway. Reopened
from 1925 to 1957, mail was then rerouted to Groom,
7 miles east.
Lark's population was a mere ten persons through the 1930s but doubled
to 20 by 1940. The TxDot map of Carson
County does not show Lark as having a cemetery. |

Lark, Texas
Please read detective/ who-done-it book "Bluebird, Bluebird"
by Attica Locke. It references Lark as the scene of a murder. Well
written too. - Jill, August 31, 2021 |
