The Texas and Pacific Railroad between Fort Worth and Texarkana was completed in April 1881, and the first train ran on this track on May 9, 1881. With the advent of rail service, new villages were established all along the line. The Keller of today was one of them.
On July 19, 1881, H.W. Wood, a druggist of Tarrant County, set aside 40 acres out of the north end of the 62 acres deeded to him by A.C. Roberts (being a part of the Samuel Needham Survey) for a town site to be known as Athol, situated 14 miles northeast of Fort Worth. The land was dedicated to the public for street and alleyways, but title to the remainder of the 62 acres was held by Mr. Wood. For the rest of the story click here. |
John & Aurora S. Keller, Texas ..."Debbie and Lloyd made us feel like family not just a customer and that is a rare occurrence in today's market. They are a great asset to Ebby Halliday and I would highly recommend them to anyone I come in contact with who may be relocating. Great Job!" |
