Return to Index History & History Related Items Crawford history: Around the mid 1800’s, the Tonk Crossing settlement was created where the road from Waco to Gatesville and the road from Belton to Fort Graham crossed. The crossing was graded by Nelson Crawford of Coryell City. Crawford may have been named for this man, but history is not certain. This settlement was about two miles east of the current Crawford site. A post office was established in 1871. When the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway put down its tracks from Temple to Fort Worth, the rails passed about two miles from Crawford. The little town moved in 1881 to what would become the final spot for Crawford. It was at this time that Crawford began to grow. The Santa Fe Railroad encouraged people to buy land along the rails and they began to do just that. By 1889, there were churches, flour and corn mills, stores, a school and many businesses. The settlers in Crawford were well-educated people who also desired a good education for the children. Everyone pitched in with funds for the new school with the wealthier members of the town giving the fund a good start. By 1891, the first graduating class of 13 students was honored. Incorporation occurred in 1897. A bank, the First National Bank of Crawford, opened in 1901 along with a number of other businesses. Crawford began to blossom and grow. With the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression, Crawford, along with the rest of the country, was hit hard. The bank and many other businesses closed and the population declined as people moved elsewhere to eke out a living. Crawford gradually recovered and more business opened. In the 1970's and 80's, others came to live in Crawford and commute to nearby Waco or McGregor for work. Fame came to Crawford when George W. Bush bought his ranch here in 1999.
