Just A Little About Abbott Texas
Abbott is a half mile east of Interstate Highway 35 and ten miles south of Hillsboro in south central Hill County. It was founded as a railroad town on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas line in 1881 and named for Jo Abbott. An Abbott post office was established in 1882 and served the town until 1928. In the 1890s cotton was a major crop in the area around Abbott. During that decade two cotton gins, a gristmill, and more than fifteen other businesses were in operation in the community. Early establishments included general stores, doctors' offices, a drugstore, barbershops, two hotels, two blacksmith shops, a photographer's studio, a newspaper, and a bank. The town had three churches.
Abbott suffered disastrous fires in 1897, 1903 and 1904 and was rebuilt after each. The community was incorporated in 1916 but Abbott declined as a result of the Great Depression and by 1932 the train stopped only when flagged.
Czech farmers came and bought much of the rich black farmland of the area. The first Czechs had come as early as 1870 and have maintained a Catholic parish in the town. The population of Abbott was 156 in 1890 and grew to a high point of 713 by 1914. It had declined to 264 by 1941. In 1989 the town had 364 residents, a post office, a cotton gin, three churches, and a school with 192 students. A local cave, Hooker Cave, on nearby Old Carr Ranch, is explored by many avid spelunkers and is the subject of numerous local legends. More than 2,000 people attended a day-long celebration of the centennial of Abbott in 1981. In 1990 the population was 314.
Country music star Willie Nelson is from Abbott and his brother Doyle Nelson took piano lessons from Caddylak Maxy's aunt, Ibbie Gathings, next door in Covington, Texas. It is now hometown to the Warren Laboratories and the famous Turkey Shop Smokin' Cafe. Note: Willie Nelson still has a home their and visits it frequently.
