How did Water Valley, TX come to be?
With the building of the Texas and Pacific Railroad westward from Dallas to El Paso, new life came to this area. By the time the rails had reached Colorado City the valley of the North Concho began to assume a new importance as the main artery of travel from Colorado City, the new source of supply, to San Angela and Fort Concho. Settlers moved in and the area developed rapidly. David Williams, one of the earliest ranchers, saw the need for more community improvements and began to work toward securing a post office and a public road from San Angela to Colorado City. Protection was assured by the presence of soldiers at Fort Concho and by a company of Texas Rangers encamped at Ranger Springs, one-half mile south of present Water Valley.

By 1885 a post office had been designated for the area in the ranch home of David Williams, with him as postmaster and with the name of Yandell. Yandell was so called in honor of a Dr. Yandell of San Angela and later of El Paso, who was a friend of the Third Assistant Postmaster General who had the governmental responsibility of approving and designating new offices. The first post office was located some four miles up-river from the present post office. At the untimely death of Mr. Williams in 1886, a partner, J.W. Knapp, served as postmaster but soon relinquished his duties to Ben Mayes, who moved the office to his new store at the present site of Water Valley.

How much lumber do you think it takes to build a home?

A common estimate is that a contemporary, 2,000-square-foot, wood-framed, single-family house uses upwards of 16,000 board feet of framing, and about 11,000 square feet of other wood materials, such as sheathing.

Water Valley's rich history draws us to this area-
In 1914 the community had a population of 175, a general store, a gin, and two cotton buyers. The Water Valley station on the Concho, San Saba and Llano Valley Railroad was used for freight shipments only. The local school, which replaced teachers in private homes, had forty-eight pupils and one teacher in 1900, sixty pupils by 1920, and four teachers in 1931. State highway maps in 1936 showed two churches, a cemetery, a school, a post office, and scattered dwellings at the townsite. Between 1900 and 1930 the population rose from 132 to 157, but it declined significantly during the Great Depression. The maximum number of businesses was seven in 1933. By 1939 the local school had 157 elementary and sixty high school students. The population returned to 140 by 1940 and rose to a high of 180 in 1953. From 1973 to 1990 Water Valley had 120 residents and a maximum of three businesses. While the reported population remained the same in 2000, the number of businesses had increased to nine.

Fun Fact Friday: we use a ton of materials when building a home but today lets talk about concrete!

Concrete is the most widely used man-made material on Earth. 70% of the world’s population lives in concrete structures – everything from single-story buildings to the tallest skyscrapers.

Can you guess how many concrete trucks it takes to build one home?
