Stewart, Texas, Rusk County. (original) (raw)

History on a Pinhead

Although the �town� still appears on some maps, very little history is available. The post office, which closed in 1907 managed to appear on the map made that year.

The only population figure available was from the 2000 census which reported 15 residents.
