Settlement of the area began in the mid-19th century. Originally called Johnson Station after local settler Jimmie Johnson, residents attempted to receive a post office designation under the same name. The postal authorities, however, suggested a shorter name be used. When the residents met to choose a name, one man argued for the name Nemo, which was Latin for "no one." He also said that if Johnson's name was not good enough, "then no one's was." In 1893, a post office branch under the name Nemo was established.
Nemo's population has never exceeded 60 persons and the community's few students are served by the Glen Rose Independent School District. In the year 2000, Brazos River Charter School opened in Nemo serving the town and the surrounding communities of Glen Rose, Cleburne, Granbury and Walnut Springs amongst others.

Nemo is at the intersection of Farms roads 200 and 199, five miles east of Glen Rose in eastern Somervell County. Settlement of the community may have begun as early as 1858. Originally, it was called Johnson Station after Jimmie Johnson, one of the first settlers to arrive in the area. Postal authorities, however, suggested that a shorter name be submitted. When residents met to choose a name, the story goes, one man stood up and argued for the name Nemo, which he said was Latin for no one. He argued that if Jimmie Johnson's name was not good enough "then no one's was." In 1893 a post office branch was established. Nemo had thirty residents, two churches, three businesses, a school, and a cotton gin. The population increased from thirty-five in 1910 to fifty-six in 1990, where it remained in 2000.
