Bomarton is an unincorporated community located in Baylor County, Texas, United States. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 15 in 2000.
Bomarton was founded in 1906 when the Wichita Valley Railroad traveled from Seymour to Abilene. Little is known about its namesake W. T. Bomar, except that he was one of the area's earliest residents. A post office was established at Bomarton in 1906 in Tom McClure's store. Another store was eventually run by B.B. Calfee and J.R. Snyder. There were two churches built between 1908 and 1910. Two cotton gins were in operation in 1914. The community's most common amenities were marketing, baseball games, and a large grazing area for cows and their calves. Its population was 580 in 1920, 600 in 1930, and 598 in 1940. It declined once World War II hit. At the end of the decade, its population was recorded as 150 in 1960, 27 in 1980, 23 in 1990, and there were 15 residents at the 2000 census, and it is currently a ghost town.[1] Its population was 23 in 2004.[2]
