You’ll find Pittsville’s ghost town remains three miles north of Fulshear, Texas, where the Pitts family established a thriving community on elevated prairie lands in the 1800s. The settlement peaked at 240 residents by 1860, featuring stores, factories, and a newspaper. After the 1888 railroad bypass and 1889 post office closure, the town declined steadily until its final residents departed in 1947. The site’s abandoned cistern and historical marker hint at deeper stories of pioneer ambition and racial tension.
