Welcome to Cross Cut, Texas. Not much left here but a few buildings
and the cemetery. This could be considered a ghost town. You are
looking for a small, camo'd plastic container that can hold a few
trinkets.
CROSS CUT, TEXAS: Cross Cut, at the junction of Farm roads
279 and 2940 in northwestern Brown County, was originally called
Cross Out because it was across the county and out of the usual way
of travel. Its founder was John M. Bloodworth, who opened a store
in 1878 and served as the first postmaster. When the post office
opened in 1879, the name of the town was changed to Cross Cut. The
town remained small during the nineteenth century but grew somewhat
in the early 1920s with oil production in the region. The
population declined during the Great Depression,qv and in 1940
Cross Cut had one store and seventy-nine people. Cross Cut's school
consolidated with Cross Plains in 1947. By 1980 the population had
fallen to forty-five, and the community did not report a population
figure in 2000.
