History in
a Pecan Shell
First settlement
occurred prior to 1836. The source of the name is lost to history,
although one suggestion is the crooked course of the town’s major
street. Pin Hook had once been applied to the area where present-day
Paris is located and it is believed that was the source.
The local school was named Faulkner after a prominent citizen
which set up a rivalry that was to endure until settled in 1988. Periodically
(since 1946) the sign designating the town was changed between Faulkner
and Pin Hook. The matter was settled in favor of the name Pin Hook
by the Lamar County Commissioners Court. |
