Isla, TX

Isla is an unincorporated community in northeastern Sabine County, Texas (USA).
It is located at the junction of State Highway 87 and Farm Road 276, eleven miles northeast of Hemphill.

A post office was established in 1896 and by the mid-1930s, Isla had an estimated population of twenty-five and three businesses.

There are approximately 350 living in the Isla area today.

Atoy, TX

First settled before (but not developed until) the Civil War, Atoy briefly had a post office (1870-71). Although no population figures are available, Atoy seems to have reached its high-water mark in the 1930s, when it had a school, church, store, and enough students, church-goers and shoppers to keep them busy.

The Atoy school was merged with Rusk schools after WWII and today the community still has three churches, a cemetery and a few residences.

A new twist!  Thanks to Leslie (MaineWriter) for the inspiration.  :-*

The XYZ Rule: 

When a town is posted that ends in X, Y, or Z, an automatic SIDE TRIP is in effect.  The following town can begin with any letter.  (You still must leave 2 posts between before you can post again, though).

This new rule is posted at the beginning of the thread in case you want to review it later.  :)
