Kosse is a town in southern Limestone County, Texas, United States.
[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.3 square miles (3.4 km2), all land.
The H&TC set aside one acre of land along the rail line two miles west of Eutaw as a townsite, and named it for chief engineer Theodore Kosse.
For several months in late 1870 and early 1871, Kosse was the northernmost terminus of the railway, and the population briefly boomed.
But by the spring of 1871, the rail line had been extended further north to the new terminus of Groesbeck and Kosse's population was considerably reduced.
[6] On December 22, 1895, a fire burned seven brick buildings and destroyed the merchandise of seventeen firms, causing a loss of $75,000 of which only $30,000 was insured.
[11] By the turn of the 20th century, Kosse had emerged as a small but stable regional community that supported the surrounding farms and ranches of southern Limestone County.
The Great Depression severely impacted Kosse as businesses closed and people left in search of jobs.
Declining student enrollment caused the Kosse School Board to vote in favor of consolidation with Groesbeck in 1968.
Public education in the town of Kosse is provided by the Groesbeck Independent School District.
