Hood is an unincorporated community in Cooke County, Texas, United States. [1] According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 20 in 2000. It is located within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Hood got its name from A. P. Hood, a pioneer farmer in the area whose home served as the location of the first post office. In the early 1880s, he relocated from Parker County to Cooke County, initially settling in Era. Hood's post office opened in 1889, and when Ira Cook divided his farm into town lots for purchase in the early 1890s, the settlement saw the arrival of its first significant enterprises. The first store was established by H. W. Williams, the first blacksmith shop was run by William Daniels, and the first cotton gin was constructed and run by the Williams brothers—Matt, Bird, Steve, and Oscar. In 1904, Hood recorded a population of 161. Following its bypass by U.S. Highway 82 and the boundaries of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, the hamlet started to dwindle. The Hood Post Office closed in 1907. Hood's population was estimated to be 240 in the middle of the 1930s and stayed that way until the early 1940s when it fell to 100. It hovered at 100 until the early 1970s when it fell below 75 once more. In 1988, the only remaining structures at Hood were a few dispersed farmhouses and the Hood Community Center. 95 people called the community home in 1990. The population fell to 20 by 2000. [2]
Hood is located 14 mi (23 km) southwest of Gainesville in Cooke County. [2]
