Dunbar has never been an incorporated city and is not recognized as a community on most maps. However, there are signs that designate the area as "Dunbar Community."

Business and Industry

Dunbar is home to a Holiday Food Store, which is the only business in Dunbar. The Holiday Food Store, simply known as "The Corner Store", sells gasoline and groceries.

The Crossroads Trading Post, which is now defunct, is located across from the Holiday Food Store. It has been closed for over 10 years, but the building is still there and is merely used for storage by the former owners.

The primary industry in Dunbar is agriculture. There are a few farms located within Dunbar which yield cattle, pecans, strawberries, and cotton.
