Crow is an unincorporated community in Wood County, Texas, United States. [1] According to the Handbook of Texas, Crow had a population of 25 in 2000.
Crow was originally named Graham when the Texas and Pacific Railway built a station in the area in 1876. A post office was established at Crow in 1906 and remained in operation until 1956. It was named for local sawmill employee Wilson Crow. Burrell Cannon, who worked at the sawmill in Rucker, was said to have built a successful plane sometime before 1900. The community once had several stores and the last saloon in the county. There were two churches here in 1910, which grew to a telephone line, a blacksmith shop, a cotton gin, and four other businesses a few years later. Crow never grew despite lots being platted. When the amount of lumber in the area ran out, the sawmills closed and residents moved out. The population inched up slowly to 100 residents in the 1930s and had several homes, a church, and three businesses. The church closed in 1960. Crow lost three-quarters of its population in 1970. More houses were built when the highway was expanded in the early 1980s. The community still had several businesses in 1988, and the population remained at 25 from 1990 through 2000. [2]
The Pine Mills Oilfield operates in the community. [3]
The residents of Crow have held an annual Fourth of July picnic for over a century.
