Savannah, Texas. (original) (raw)

History on a Pinhead

Very little history is available on this Savannah. The other (Red River County) is a ghost town but they once had a post office and a few businesses.

The only history available is on the one-teacher school which was in existence in 1899. No population figures are available. In the 1930s the school was described as being five miles from the nearest store, so it�s unlikely that Savannah ever had a town center. After consolidation with the Jefferson school in 1955, Savannah lost a good part of its identity. In the early 1960s a few scattered residences and a church made up the town and it remained so on the map in the 1980s.
