Eckert is a ghost town, northeast of Fredericksburg in Gillespie County, in the U.S. state of Texas. West of Willow City, on FM 1323, Eckert is at the junction of State Highway 16. White settlers came to the area in 1875 and built Mount Zion, a log church. A small community they named Nebo, after nearby Nebo Mountain north, grew up around the church. A post office appointment was offered to, and declined by, George W. Graves in 1903. When Wilhelm Rudolph Eckert opened a store in the location in 1903, he became the first postmaster of Eckert. At his request, Nebo was renamed Eckert.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txpost/gillespie.html )〕 The population peaked in 1925 at 100, but is today a ghost town. It does not have a zip code of its own, but shares the Willow City zip code. The small Eckert Cemetery lies just north of the community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=3364 )〕 ==Further reading== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eckert, Texas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
