1890s
To serve the growing population (2,034 residents by 1900), a volunteer fire department was organized in 1855. Like many other volunteer fire departments of that era, it was a hobby and social club for young civic leaders. The department was based in an octagonal brick building on Tyler Street near the rear of the Texas & Pacific depot. The department's first engine was called "Dolly" in honor of resident Dolly Northcutt.| HM Number | HM1OBR |
