Why this spot
1907-1940s railroad town
Braithwaite was platted in 1907 on the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway main line west of Bessie and soon had a drugstore and other businesses, a post office from 1910 and a school from 1916. It never grew past a few dozen people, losing its post office in 1923 and its last school district lands in 1947.View source →
