Dozier, TX
Near the Salt Fork of the Red River in northwestern Collingsworth County. The site was on the Rocking Chair Ranch until the ranch ceased to exist.
Post office was granted in 1904 with the Dozier school district being organized five years later when a schoolhouse was built.
The school's location changed several times until a larger building was constructed in 1913. This school lasted until 1929, when a brick school was built.
By 1930 the population of Dozier was 60 and it somehow increased during the Great Depression to 100 by 1940.

Huckabay, TX
Originally called Flat Woods around 1875, by the end of the decade a store opened and the towns first postmaster, John A. Huckabay, submitted his name on the application.
The town opened a cotton gin but when a bank opened in the 1890s - it closed soon after. The population was 174 at the turn of the 20th Century. An academy operated from 1900 to 1910 and the town was connected to Stephenville in 1927 by the construction of highway 108. The town has lived a peaceful existence for over 100 years and the population hasn't changed that much from the 1900 figure.
(NB: This town ends with a Y so the next player gets an automatic side trip...the XYZ rule!)
