Telegraph, Texas

Telegraph is a ghost town in Kimble County, Texas, United States, that is located along on U.S. Route 377, 13 miles (21 km) southwest of Junction.

During the 1920s, camping on the river near Telegraph was a popular vacation spot for campers, hunters, and fishermen, with the only building of the town serving as the residence/country store/post office (which closed in 2009).

In 1925, Telegraph had rental cabins on the river, and a gas station-post office-general store (residence of the postmaster).
