Circle Back, Texas

Circle Back, also Circleback, is an unincorporated community in Bailey County, Texas, United States.

At one time, Circle Back had around a dozen houses, a filling station, and a combination store/post office.

Raymond and Elizabeth Gage were members of a local Independent Order of Odd Fellows from the late 1940s to the 1960s.

Local store owner Sarah "Zue" Smart managed it until it burned around 1965.

The population plunged to 49 in 1980 and the only residents left were the pastor of the local Baptist church, his wife, and their two children by the middle of the decade.
