Drop, TX
The Denton Creek Settlement - established in 1854 – included what would become Drop.
The original name on the application was Dewdrop, but this was rejected by postal authorities. There was a Dew, Texas in Fairfield County, although research shows that there never has been a Dewdrop, Texas. The settlers simply dropped the Dew from their name rather than incur the wrath of bureaucrats.
In 1886 the Drop post office opened, but was closed by 1910.
In the late 1880s, the railroad built near Justin and this drew people and businesses from Drop.
In 1936 Drop only had thirty-eight people and it declined further to fewer than thirty in 1963.
