Odell, Texas

[1] It is situated at the junction of Farm Roads 91, 432, and 2379 in northwestern Wilbarger County, approximately 15 miles northwest of Vernon.

The community was founded in 1908 as a railroad station on the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway.

Upon the arrival of the railroad, a number of Haulk citizens were lured to a better location on land donated by T. H. Holloway.

Several factors, including the Great Depression and a series of fires in the mid–1930s, accelerated the level of decline.

[2][3] Public education in the community of Odell is provided by the Chillicothe Independent School District.
