Summary
| Description |
From texasescapes.com - Telegraph came into being sometime before 1900 - the year a post office opened. The name comes from the telegraph that connected the string of military installations - or the telegraph poles that were cut nearby. The natural setting made it a popular hunting and fishing destination although the year-round population remained at only 25 people from the mid-1920s through the 1960s. A population boom in the mid 1960 swelled the population to 56 - but by 1970 it was back to only 31. By the 1990s there were reportedly only three people living in the town. |
