Red Rock, Texas, Upshur County ghost town. (original) (raw)

History in a Pecan Shell

One of Upshur County�s earliest communities. Red Rock started as a ferry crossing sometime in the 1840s. In fact, several ferries were in operation in the 1850s, but a larger operation at Walter�s Bluff made the Red Rock ferry obsolete in the early to mid 1860s. Whatever developed here has long since disappeared. Only the name remains on old records and vintage maps.
