History of Texas Community
When Was Texas Established?
The community of Texas got its name from the state of Texas. It was a small settlement that once had its own post office.
The Texas Post Office
A post office was opened in Texas in 1858. This was an important place for people to send and receive mail. The post office served the community for many years. However, it eventually closed down in 1909. After the post office closed, the community became less active.
