About Hovey School
Hovey School was established in 1913 to serve the railroad community of Hovey west of Fort Stockton, with this building erected in 1916 after the first schoolhouse burned. It operated as a one-teacher, seven-grade school for both Anglo and Hispanic students of the ranching area. After closing in 1938 the building served as a gathering place.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Hovey School
About 1910 a railroad stop named Hovey was established about 40 miles west of here on the Kansas City, Mexico, and Orient Railroad. By 1913 Hovey contained a depot, post office/general store, and several stock shipping pens. Hovey school was established in 1913. The first school building burned and in 1916 this schoolhouse was erected in Hovey. It served as a one-teacher seven-grade school for Anglo and Hispanic students of the rural ranch community of Hovey. After the school closed in 1938 the building served as a community center. It was moved here in 1987. (1994) Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5371002583
