Waskom was
established in 1850 as a midway point of an east-west
(Dallas, TX to Shreveport, LA) cattle and cotton economic travelway to
the Red River in Louisiana, some 20 miles (32 km) east. In
1872 it
became a main railroad station between Dallas and Shreveport to the
west and east respectively and Texarkana to the north. A major railway
still travels through Waskom. Today Waskom sits on I-20 that connects
the Carolinas to southwest Texas and Mexico. Some files are saved in adobe portable document format (.pdf). If you are unable to open these documents please download Adobe Reader (link will open in a new window). |
