Blackland TX Keeps a Record of Six Prairie Towns
A focused local-history archive covering six Navarro County-area towns, their neighboring communities, photographs, newspapers, and earlier web records.
Field notes
The archive uses geography rather than municipal boundaries as its filing system: the Blackland Prairie's black clay belt links the six featured towns and the smaller settlements around them. Its preservation work extends beyond town histories to a 25-issue community newspaper, a 143-page 2014 website, and an earlier site retained at its original addresses. Historical notes cite county deed books, newspaper material, family research, and Texas historical markers, while the site invites readers to contribute corrections and photographs.
