From Georgia to Aledo, Texas

Upbringings of a Small Time Town

The town’s first residents were originally from Georgia, and named their new home Parker’s city. They began by building a postal office, and a stop by the Texas & Pacific Railroad. It was later given the name Aledo, being named after a town in Illinois by a railroad executive.

Sometime around the 1880s, this little bit of land had about 150 residents, and by the time it got to the year 1915, this town was up and running with a bank, cotton gin, and corn mill. They almost quadrupled in size at the time with roughly 400 residents between the years 1915 and 1920.

A Day in the Life

Aledo has an old fashioned, rustic essence in the air. It’s almost as if you asked a New York native what he imagined an older country city in Texas looked like and what he imagined came into fruition.

Like most cities, Aledo has a facebook group, where they post things to keep their neighbors in check, and simple community updates. This just goes to show how much of a close knit bunch this little town is.
