The Texas
and Pacific Railroad between Fort Worth and Texarkana was completed in
April 1881, and the first train ran on this track on May 9, 1881. With the
advent of rail service, new villages were established all along the line.
The Keller of today was one of them. On July 19, 1881, H.W. Wood, a druggist of Tarrant County, set aside 40 acres out of the north end of the 62 acres deeded to him by A.C. Roberts (being a part of the Samuel Needham Survey) for a town site to be known as Athol, situated 14 miles northeast of Fort Worth. The land was dedicated to the public for street and alleyways, but title to the remainder of the 62 acres was held by Mr. Wood. Settlers
migrated to the new village, and before a year had passed the name of the
town was changed from Athol to Keller, honoring John C. Keller, a foreman
on the railroad. Streets were named and those in the original 40 acre site
still carry the names given to them in 1881. Streets going north and south
are Lamar, Main and Elm; those running east and west are Price, Taylor,
Hill, Vine, Bates, Olive and Pecan.
