Lake City Community
| In 1879, Joseph Allen deeded four acres of land out of the southwest corner of the Joseph Allen Survey, Abstract No. 1662 for school purposes. In 1880 the Lake Valley Community School was located at that site. The trustees of this school were F.M. McGlothin, W.W. Edwards and Joseph Allen. The Lake City community was platted as a town along the west side of the Clear Fork of the Brazos River, four miles southwest of South Bend near the W.W Harrison Home as an oil boom community in 1921. It At its peak it had several stores and a community school. In 1923, the Lake City community was abandoned and the remains were scrapped. Nothing remains of the community. |
