Why this spot

1907-1909 Big Pasture land opening town

Eschiti was platted and sold by the Interior Department in 1907 after the Big Pasture opening and quickly had a bank, two doctors, two cotton gins and about 20 businesses. Rival Kell City won the railroad, the two towns fought over the post office building, and Eschiti's post office closed in 1909.View source →
