"History in a Pecan Shell
"Originally called Twist, Texas or Twist Junction - Dalhart also tried using Denrock - a combination of the names of the two railroads that crossed here (the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad and the Fort Worth and Denver Railroad).
"After their choice was rejected by postal authorities, they came up with another combination - this time of the two counties - Dallam and Hartley. Other significant events are in this simplified timeline:
1901: Town platted when the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad crossed the tracks of the Fort Worth and Denver Railroad.
1902: Town Incorporated
1903: Dalhart replaced Texline as the Dallam County Seat
1906: Town gets water tower
1921: County library opens for business
1920s: Dalhart's recently restored La Rita Theater is opened
1936: XIT Ranch Reunion Association formed" ~ Texas Escapes
