History in a Pecan Shell

Named after Teddy not Franklin.

Roosevelt's population has never exceeded 150 people.

A local ranch imported Angora goats from South Africa in the 1920s and horses were raised here for the US Cavalry. Polo ponies were trained here as well, and Polo matches were a frequent activity in the 1920s.
