The town of Tarzan Texas owes its name to a 1927 decision after a store owner named Lindsay proposed Tarzan to postal officials. The name change prevented confusion with another Taft, and a stack of Tarzan comic books inspired the choice. Doris McMorries, postmistress since 1956, notes postmark requests from Greenland and students, while many residents have moved away. The town remains defined by its quirky name and the post office continues to answer queries as long as it stays open.
