Ogburn is an unincorporated community in Wood County, located in the U.S. state of Texas. [1] According to the Handbook of Texas, Ogburn had a population of 10 in 2000.
A tram line was constructed in the area in 1897 by the Winnsboro-based W. G. Ragley Lumber Company to transport logs; this line ultimately joined the Texas Southern Railway. A village called Jim Hogg is said to have developed around the sawmill in 1900 while J. W. Ogburn, for whom the community was named, was running it on the rail line. It was said that this village migrated a short distance in 1908 to form the settlement of Ogburn. J. W. Ogburn had planted 550 acres (220 ha) with Elberta peach trees at that time, and the village of Ogburn got a post office the following year. The Ogburn Orchard Company was the only business in the town, which had 100 residents and a telephone line in 1914. After the fruit orchards started to fail, Ogburn started to dwindle, and by 1923 the post office had shut down. Twenty people lived in the village from 1939 to 1947, when it was stated to have one business serving it; after that point, no demographic statistics were provided. Ogburn had only a few dispersed homes by the late 1940s. At the location in 1960, there was just one occupied house left. The population was ten in 2000. [2]
Ogburn is located just off Farm to Market Road 2088, 15 mi (24 km) east of Quitman in eastern Wood County. [2]
Ogburn had its own school in 1932 and had 47 White students enrolled in eight grade levels. It closed in the late 1940s. [2] Today, the community is served by the Winnsboro Independent School District.
