Mesquite is a former town in Borden County, Texas, United States. From its inception, Mesquite remained a rural farming community. A school, established in 1905, served the area until 1952, after which the building appears to have been abandoned. Today, all that remains at the site of Mesquite are a Church of Christ, several scattered houses, and the abandoned schoolhouse.[2] The rest of the town appears to have been subsumed by private farms for cropland.
Mesquite is located on Farm to Market Road 1054, east of US Route 87 and north of US Route 180. The nearest large community is Lamesa, approximately 15miles to the southwest. It is also located 16miles northwest of Gail, 55miles north of Big Spring, and 7miles south of the Lynn County line.[3]
