5,935* Urban population" as defined by the United States Bureau of the Census is population that lives
in incorporated places of 2,500 or more. (A few exceptions are made to meet unique situations ) Rural
population" is all population living in places of less than 2,500 plus all farm population. "Total farm
population" is the population actually living on farms. More than 99 per cent of it is "rural popula-
tion," though there are instances of farms and farmers located inside limits of places of more than
2,500; hence there is a small "urban-farm" population included in the "total farm" population This
"total farm population" should not be confused with the census breakdown of all rural population,
namely, "rural-farm" and "rural-nonfarm," though there is little difference between "rural-farm" and
"total farm " The breakdown into rural-farm and rural-nonfarm is not given min this county table, but
the state totals are given elsewhere in this chapter
Cities, Towns and Villages of Texas.
Incorporated and Unincorporated Places; Post Offices and Banking Centers;
Number of Business Establishments, and Population as of 1940, With Estimates for
1943 in Instances Where There Has Been Appreciable Growth Since 1940.
The list on following pages includes the names of about 3,700 cities, towns and villages
of Texas. Immediately after each name is given the name of the county in which the place
is located. The list has been revised to April 1, 1943.
Figures in the right-hand column show population. For all places that were incorporated
as of April 1, 1940, the government census figure on population is given. However, due to the
establishment Qf many war industries and Army camps min Texas during the last two years, and
for other causes, some places have grown rapidly For this reason an estimate of population
early in 1943 is given for about 200 places. These estimates are in parentheses following the
name of place and other data about it. Where there has been large growth outside corporate
limits, the total corporate and suburban population is given also. These are local estimates
based on government rationing figures, growth of school attendance, utilities connections, etc.
In all instances of unincorporated places, for which there is no official government census
figure, unofficial estimates are given.
An asterisk (*) denotes that the place has a post office (e.g , *ABBOTT)
A dagger (t)denotes that the place has at least one state or national bank (e g , *iABER-
NATHY, which has post office and bank).
Capital letters denote that place was incorporated at date of last census of population,
1940 (e g., *ABBOTT).
Small letters denotes that the place is unincorporated (e g, *Aberdeen).
Figure immediately following name of place and county denotes number of business enter-
prises (e.g., Agua Dulce, Nueces, 22, this means that Agua Dulce in Nueces County has tN en-
ty-two business establishments as listed by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.).Town and County- Pop.
