Abstract

A social history of the northwest section of Freestone County, Texas, focusing mainly on the towns of Kirvin and Streetman, 1900–1950, reveals the developments, the tragedies, the stories, and the obvious themes running through these communities' histories. Kirvin and Streetman ultimately became quiet communities, with little to no activity, but they were once vibrant, active places full of people, businesses, and human life. By studying these communities, new insight emerges into how they were similar, different, and how they related to one another.
