Thigpen, a highly regarded physician. He purchased 46 acres of land for $230.00 and plotted the townsite as "Sylvan", but subsequently changed the name to Carmean, after one of the original highly-respected settler of the area. The spelling of the town was changed to Carmine on June 15, 1892, to eliminate confusion for the postal service between the town and Cameron. The railroad opened a small station where farmers could ship their products to market. The Carmine State Bank opened in 1907 and the town received an economic boost that has helped the city throughout the years. With the bank opening, other industry followed, boosting Carmine's population growth to approximately 500 at the time. The main economies of yesteryear were cotton, potatoes, chickens, eggs and cattle. Today the chief source of Carmine's economy is a large-scale commercial egg operation, ranching, tourism and antique shops.
