Dreka, Texas. (original) (raw)

History in a Pecan Shell

Settled in the early 1890s, the community had a short-lived post office (1894-1907). The population in the 1930s was less than 30 but by the end of WWII, it still had a church, store and gin.

A slow but steady decline has left the place a dispersed community, but it remained listed as a community as late as 1990.
