Adsul, Texas facts for kids

Adsul is a small place in Newton County, Texas, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it's part of the larger county.

Adsul's History

Adsul has a short but interesting history. A post office was opened there in 1907. Post offices were very important back then for people to send and receive letters and packages. This post office helped connect the people of Adsul with the rest of the world.

How Adsul Got Its Name

The post office in Adsul only stayed open for a few years, closing in 1911. The name "Adsul" itself is a mix of two names: Adams and Sullivan. These two people were important in the area because they owned a local sawmill. A sawmill is a factory where logs are cut into lumber, which is wood used for building.
