Rosston, Texas

Rosston is a small farming and ranching community in southwestern Cooke County, Texas, United States.

The four Ross brothers—William, John, Perry, and Orr—moved from Grayson County to the area in 1870 and established a mill, mercantile store, and cotton gin.

In 1872, the town's name was changed from Rosstown to Rosston, and a post office was opened in the Ross shop.

The village peaked in 1913, with seven enterprises (two blacksmith shops, three general stores, a drugstore, and a cotton gin) and a doctor.

[4] The late Bill Freeman of Rosston trained and showed Smart Little Lena, a quarter horse, throughout his career.
