Twichell, aka Twitchell, Texas, Ochiltree County. (original) (raw)

History on a PinheadFounded as a stop on the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway in 1919, the town was named after the president of the railroad - Ginery Twichell.

Twichell, Texas bears an uncanny resemblance to Bee County�s town of Tynan.

Photographer's Note:
Seven minutes west of Booker and six minutes east of Perryton on TX 15. I suppose Twichell is closer to a town than a ghost town. It has commerce, a few houses and a road sign. -
