Good Neighbor, Texas, Hopkins County. (original) (raw)

History in a Pecan Shell

Due to the proximity of the county seat, Good Neighbor probably never had a chance. It appeared just before 1900 but there is little to report for its early years. It had no commercial center and although it had a church and school, the school was merged with another and the church closed. The post war prosperity enabled residents to look for work in distant towns.

As early as the 1960s, Good Neighbor only had scattered residences and a community center.
