Boondocks Road (formerly Jap Road) is a 4.3-mile (6.9-kilometre) road in Fannett, Texas . ==History== In the early 20th century, Japanese immigrant Yoshio Mayumi and his brother Yasuo settled in Fannett, purchasing 1734 acres (7 km²) of land. The two brought with them techniques for rice farming, which became the dominant agricultural activity of Jefferson County. According to local tradition, in 1905 area residents collaborated to build a road to the Mayumi farm, and named the road "Jap Road" in their honor. In 1924, Mayumi returned to Japan. Low rice prices and smaller harvests due to mismanaged land had rendered his farm unprofitable. The Immigration Act of 1924 and related anti-immigrant sentiment are also considered contributing factors to Mayumi's decision to leave the country.
