Belknap is a ghost town in Young County, Texas, United States.

By that time, 150 people lived in Belknap, and the town included a saloon, the post office, and several stores.

The fort was largely abandoned and the residents feared Indian attacks.

[2] In 1867, federal troops returned to the fort, but abandoned it 5 months later due to low water in the area.

By 1880, only 40 people remained in the town, but the post office wasn't disbanded until 1908.
