COWL SPUR, TEXAS. Cowl Spur was on Farm Road 2854
and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, six miles west of Conroe in west
central Montgomery County. The town was named after a spur and siding on
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe. During the early 1930s the Day Lumber
and Timber Company had a timber mill there. In 1938, Day Lumber sold out
to Daniel's Lumber Company and Retail Lumber and Building Materials.
They changed the name to the People's Lumber and Building Materials
Company soon after. In the 1940s the town had thirty dwellings and three
businesses, including a sawmill and a railroad station. From 1940 to
1965 the population of Cowl Spur was reported at fifty. By 1965 the area
had become part of the Conroe Independent School District.
