History in
a Pecan Shell
Calvin Rucker,
owner of a cotton gin is the namesake of the town. The gin opened
in 1890 and a post office soon followed.
At one time
Rucker had its own school built on donated land. Early population
figures are not available, but the 1940 census counted twenty-five
residents.
As of 1990, Rucker was still listed as a community.
