History
in a Pecan Shell
The town's namesake - Michael S. Acuff arrived in the area around
1891 but the town didn't get their first school until 1902. A six-room
brick schoolhouse was built in 1924. Acuff had its own post office
from 1903 to 1912 and things have been pretty quiet since then. During
the 1940s Baptists and Methodists shared the same church and the population
swelled from (no figures available) to 50 people in the 1950s. It
has since declined back to a more manageable population of 30. |
