Kaufman County "forgotten" towns
When I get my MD, I think most of my hunts will end up being in Kaufman County, where I live and own some acreage.
I don't know much about the history of Kaufman County (yet!), but during my first looks today, I found this interesting list from the Kaufman County Historical Commission: http://www.kaufmancounty.net/kchcr.htm
It is a list of town names in the county, some of which ceased being towns more than 100 years ago. Yet, a little information is known about many of the towns, such as Jeuberville, which died out around 1877, but during its existence had a store, a school and horse racing.
I wonder if anyone has had any success locating some of these now-forgotten towns, especially ones that are known to have had structures like schools and churches. What interesting places to detect!
If anyone has experience hunting in Kaufman County, I'd enjoy hearing about it.
