We headed out today to visit a couple small towns north of us, and our first stop was in Krugerville. Not much to photograph in Krugerville... it was literally one of those towns that if you blinked, you missed it. It has a total area of .7 square miles and a population, according to it's sign, of 1,560."In 1964, after several years of building houses in the Denton area, Mr. L. H. Kruger purchased 328 acres right off of Hwy 377, just south of Aubrey. His plan was to improve the mostly wooded area, and build houses on 1-acre lots.
The “ol’timers” still recognize the place, since so much of the original look-and-feel still exists. In fact, you can still see L.H. Kruger and his wife Willie Mae out and about in “Old Krugerville.” A lot of improvements have taken place since his time as Mayor back in the early 1970’s, but L.H. still enjoys the beauty that initially drew him to this area over 40 years ago." {From City of Krugerville web page}
