Higginbotham, Texas, Gaines County. (original) (raw)

History on a Pinhead

The Higginbotham Brothers (J.M. and R.W.) made this the headquarters for their ranch in the first years of the 20th Century.

In 1914 the brothers also founded the Higginbotham-Bartlett Company in Seagraves, Texas.

But with hardly any population, the �community� didn�t appear on maps until the 1960s. The population in 1964 was just 150.

The population hovered around 210 for the 1970-1990 censuses.
