What secrets lay hidden beneath the surface of Ames? Here we stand, on the outskirts of Houston, in a small town named Ames. Don’t let its size fool you, Ames holds a history as rich and deep as the Texas soil. Founded by a man named William Ames, an early settler and railroad man, Ames quickly grew into a bustling hub. The year 1893 saw the establishment of its first post office, a testament to its burgeoning community. By 1905, the communication network expanded with the arrival of the telephone. However, progress wasn’t always a straight line. Ames didn’t gain access to the power grid until 1941, showing the resilience of this small town. Sadly, the town faced its share of closures. The local school, once a beacon of education, shut its doors in 1940, its students sent on a daily commute to neighboring Gatesville. Fate dealt another blow in 1957 with the closure of the post office and the town’s only church. Despite these setbacks, the spirit of Ames perseveres.
