Reagan, Texas

Reagan, Texas

Reagan, Texas is an unincorporated community at the intersection of State Highway 6 and Farm Road 413, nine miles (14 km) southeast of Marlin in Falls County. Established in 1873, shortly after the Waco and Northwestern Railroad completed the section of track between Bremond and Ross. A post office opened that year and was named for William Reason Reagan who donated the land for the townsite.

Transitioning from a rail stop to agriculture during the 20th century Reagan saw most of its businesses move to the nearby county seat of Marlin. Current residents commute to nearby cities where they are employed in non-agricultural professions. Farming and ranching are still practiced but the majority of income is derived from other sources.

Population grew to 500 by the 1890s reaching a high of 600 in 1914. As of 2000 the population stands at 208. [ [http://www.texasescapes.com/CentralTexasTownsNorth/Reagan-Texas.htm Texas Escapes] ]
