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. |
