Krum

By Della Isbell Davis, George U. Hubbard, George U Hubbard

Book Overview

Krum is one of the crown jewels of North Texas. Located north of Fort Worth and just west of Denton, Krum was once famous for an award-winning strain of wheat. The town even established three grain mills to accommodate wheat production. Over a million pounds of grain were shipped in 1900, when Krum was known as the largest wagon grain market in the United States. The town now serves northwest Denton County as a center for agricultural, financial, and emergency services, with its citizens as Krum's major asset. Descendants of many of the original settlers are still here by preference and are proud to tell the world they live in Krum. Why go anywhere else?

Customer Reviews

Proud owner of this history book

As a descendant of one of the founding Fathers of Krum I certainly had to pick up this book and I'm glad I did. This book is like a time machine, that takes you back from the 1800's and then into the 20th century. It's many pictures shows glimpses of what Krum looked like in it's infantcy and shows the reader how far it's come since those early pioneer days. You couldn't find a better Krum area history author than Mrs. Della Davis, if you ever had a question as to who or what happened in Krum whenever, you would ask Della and she would have the answers. She can also be found at the Krum Heritage Museum when it is open, stop by there when you're passing through and pick up a copy of this book (and don't forget to get her to autograph it).
