Huff, Texas
Huff (also known as Hufftown, and later as Huff Community) is a Ghost town in northeastern Archer County, Texas, United States. It is part of the Wichita Falls, Texas Metropolitan Statistical Area. Huff lies adjacent to Lake Creek, south of Lakeside City, just east off of Texas State Highway 79.〔Minor, David. - (Huff, Texas ). - ''Handbook of Texas''. - Retrieved: 2008-06-18〕 ==History== Named for Charles C. Huff, an attorney for the Wichita Falls and Southern Railway (WF&SR). In 1908 the WF&SR founded the town site as a switching site. Next to the tracks the WF&SR built a giant concrete cistern that held a rail tank car-full of water that the railroad hauled in for the community's source of fresh water.〔 A post office operated at Huff from 1909 to 1913, and there was a blacksmith shop, a general store, and school. By 1936 there was only a school and some scattered dwellings. The town site became a local community center for area cattle ranchers, using the old school as a community center.〔
