Concrete is a ghost town in DeWitt County, in the U.S. state of Texas.[1]
History
Concrete was founded in 1846, making it one of the county's oldest communities.[2] The settlement was named for the early adobe concrete used in local buildings and homes.[3] A post office was established at Concrete in 1853, and remained in operation until 1907.[4] With the construction of the railroad in 1873, business activity shifted to nearby towns, and the Concrete's population dwindled[5]
