Back, formerly Pumpkin Ridge, is an unincorporated community in Gray County, Texas, United States.

[1] Settled in the late 1890s, Back is situated on the junction of Texas State Highway 273 and Farm to Market Road 1321.

A post office opened in October 1899, and was named Northfork, for the North Fork Red River.

In 1927, real estate developers proposed the community of Back City, which was never built.

The post office closed in 1928, and in September 1932, was reestablished in Denworth, causing the decline of the settlement.
