History

This community was originally settled by the Batson family sometime before 1840. In October 1903, an oilfield was discovered to the north of the town, and soon after the population would boom to about 10,000 residents. [ [http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/BB/hlb13.html Handbook of Texas Online - BATSON, TX ] ] The oil production would decrease by the mid 1920's, resulting in the population decline to about 600. In March 1935, another oil discovery would boost the population slightly, but over the next several decades, would decline again.
