Teacup, Texas, Kimble County ghost town. (original) (raw)

History on a Pinhead

Named for the soaring Teacup �Mountain� to the west of the site, not much is known of this community other than there were 10 inhabitants at one time and they were served by a single store.

The post office �may� have been located in the general store according to The Handbook of Texas. 1947 was the last year anyone bothered to count the number of residents and now there�s no one left to ask.
