Gordon, TX

Gordon got its start in the late 1800s as a stop along the Texas and Pacific Railway, taking its name from the civil engineer who surveyed the area. While it grew into a bustling trade hub of around a thousand residents by the 1920s, the town eventually settled into a much quieter rhythm, holding onto its historic roots and classic small-town character.
