History

The Three States area may have been developed during an oil boom in the early 1920s. County maps from the next decade showed homes and businesses scattered along the highway. It then showed houses on the Texas side of the community and small businesses on the Louisiana and Arkansas sides in the last half of the 20th century. Its population was 45 in 2000. [2]
