Griffith Switch

 

Griffith was named for early settler, J. W. Griffith. It is located on FM Road 2258, on the Johnson County line. When the International and Great Northern Railroad came through the county and laid a spur track to Griffith in 1903, the name became Griffith Switch. The community served as a cattle shippiing point.
