Texas Post Offices Decline Amid Population Rise
Texas population grows from 10.6 million in 1900 to 9.5 million by 1960 while post offices drop from 11 12 to 1 996. Highway growth and rural mail expansion cut the need for many small country stores and post offices. Terlingua serves two families as Texas rural routes total 1 544 with 94 miles star routes statewide. A separate note covers Sam Houston Allred and family moves and public service ties.
