After the railroad developed, housing patterns began to move north of the rail line. By the 1960s the development of retail trade along U.S. Highway 90 brought growth north of the original townsite. In addition, Amistad Dam and Reservoir, built on the Rio Grande during the 1960s, also attracted housing and the establishment of this post office.
