History in a Pecan Shell

Named Clalkton in 1926 after the rancher who owned the land where the oil discovery was made, Chalkton was a boom town - for awhile. Both the town and post office changed their names to Otis Chalk in 1939. Shortly after WWII, Otis Chalk had fifty residents which has since increased to 79.
