As the Colorado and Santa Fe Railway began to expand in 1885, the town of Lometa was founded. Lometa became a new beginning for Senterfitt, Texas, as founding town settlers deemed Lometa would not be as wild, thus, never allowed a saloon to be built in the area. 

The following year in 1886, executor of the estate Frank Longfield deeded the right-of-way to the railroad that allowed 200 acres of the land to become the official townsite. 

This small town is home to 888 individuals, per the 2020 U.S. Census.

Historical Sites
