This is one of a series of large beads obtained from different places and converted into travel bugs. They are named for Texas towns with interesting names or histories.
Noodle is southwest Jones County. It took its name from Noodle Creek. According to folk tradition the name meant "nothing," signifying a dry creek bed. Settlement in the region began in 1882 with the arrival of Anderson Criswell, a sheepherder. Later settlers came for the cheap ($5 per acre) land. In 1898 Noodle acquired a store and in 1900 a post office, which operated until 1924. By 1920 the town had added a gin, a blacksmith shop, and a garage. In 1883 the first school, Willow Creek, was founded on Criswell's ranch northeast of the site of present Noodle. Local residents built a school building in Noodle six years later and named it Cross Roads. The population was never large and never exceeded forty between 1950 and 2000.
