Talco, TX

Talco is a city in Titus County, Texas, United States. The 2020 census counted 494 residents. Other reports say that it may have been from a local company name, Texas-Arkansas-Louisiana Company. Two post offices were established near the current site of Talco: Gouldsboro in 1856, and Goolesboro in 1878. Talco previously maintained Talco Elementary. That mix gives Talco a clear local shape within Texas, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present. Due to name conflict, the community changed its name to "Talco" based on the Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana Candy Company initials on a candy wrapper. US Route 271 is the major north–south highway passing through Talco. The community is one mile east of the Franklin County line.
