About Telegraph Office & School
A small structure at this site served as the first office for the United States Army telegraph line that reached Fort Stockton in 1876. The same building later housed the first school established in the area, opened in 1883. Together the two uses marked the settlement's early transition from military outpost toward civilian community.
