History in a Pecan Shell

The community was named after Thomas S. Dulin, a teacher who left to serve in the Civil War and returned to teach after the war. He is said to have married another teacher.

The couple bought a huge tract of land (some sources say 20 sections and made their home around Clear Creek. Dulin was granted a post office in 1896 although it closed in 1903. Accounts are sketchy but the school pictured above is thought to have merged with schools in Brookesmith. The only population estimate available is from the 1940s when 50 residents lived here.
