Unincorporated community in Texas, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gouldbusk is an unincorporated community in Coleman County, Texas, United States.[1] According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 70 in 2000.
The community was named for English settler William Gould-Busk, who bought the Starkweather ranch about 1886. It soon grew when the land around the area was sold for more farms in 1903. It then became a shipping port for cotton and had a post office. Alongside the post office, the community also had a cotton gin, six businesses, and 150 inhabitants in 1940, which then plunged to 70 in 1980, after World War II. The population remained at that level in 2000.[2]
Although it is unincorporated, Gouldbusk has a post office with the ZIP code 76845.[3]
Gouldbusk is located 6 mi (9.7 km) west of Farm to Market Road 1026 and 20 mi (32 km) south of Coleman in south-central Coleman County.[4]
Gouldbusk is served by the Panther Creek Consolidated Independent School District.
