Noxville, TX
Noxville's first resident was a man named Creed Taylor who built a stone house there in 1869. Other settlers came in the 1870s to settle nearby (4.5 miles east). In 1879 a storekeeper named Nox opened the town's post office. The Noxville school (circa 1880) was the first stone school in Kimble County.
In 1940 the school merged with the Harper ISD in Gillespie County. In 1911 the post office was moved west to the James River. By the 1920s, the town had a store and gas station. The post office closed its doors in 1942.
The population was fifteen or less until 1974, when it suddenly jumped to 75. By 1990 it had declined to only three people.

Zipp, TX
Guadalupe River near Seguin, TX
Sometimes called Zippville, Zipp is a small community located on U.S. Highway 90 and the Guadalupe River about two miles west of Seguin in central Guadalupe County. The village probably began during the early 1900s and was named for the Zipp family.
The main activity in the area centered around a cluster of businesses that included a service station, restaurant, and boat shop. A small airport was located nearby. The first population figures were available in 1970 when the census listed ninety-eight residents. That number remained constant through the 1990s, though most of the businesses had closed. In 2000 the population was 110, and a catering business operated in the area.
