Kirkland, Texas : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kirkland, Texas Kirkland is a ghost town in southeastern Childress County, Texas, near US-287 and 8 miles Southeast of the modern city of Childress, Texas. The population was 44 the last time the official state map was published. ==History== The first townsite of Kirkland was actually in Hardeman county along a stage coach line from Wichita Falls to Mobeetie, but with the arrival of the Fort Worth & Denver City railroad in 1887, the settlement moved to its present location. At its previous location, it had "an inn, two saloons and a general store."〔 Settler John Quincy Adams, along whose land the FW&D tracks were laid, platted a well-gridded〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/34.381358,-100.0568322/Childress,+TX+79201/@34.3916285,-100.0982884,14z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x87aa95e0d2c36c0d:0xcca11763638ce1d4!2m2!1d-100.2040019!2d34.4264529?hl=en )〕 townsite that soon became home to a mercantile store, a post office and a stockyard serving an ever increasing number of farmers. The panic of 1893 was a setback to Kirkland, but by 1900 growth resumed,〔 and by 1905 Crone Webster Furr had established a mercantile store that became the beginnings of the Furr's Groceries and Cafeterias corporation. Roy Furr worked those stores as a boy, and as a man would expand the business in to an empire. By the 1920s, "the Biggest Little City in Texas" had "three churches, a three-room school, and several businesses, including three grocery stores, two lumber yards, two barber shops, five filling stations, three hardware stores, and a bank".〔 From here, however, the decline began, and by 1980, the once-proud community had only one general store and 100 inhabitants, when previously it had 500.〔 Today, the only significant remnants of the town are a (now dirt) street grid, a few houses and a cemetery.〔
