Progress is an unincorporated community in Bailey County, in the U.S. state of Texas. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 49 in 2000.
Progress was once a station on the Pecos and Northern Texas Railway. The community was founded in 1907 and the residents wanted the community to be a production center for fruits and vegetables, but the development did not occur. It had two stores and 100 residents in 1940, which went down to 49 in 1980 through 2000.[1]
Progress is located on U.S. Highway 84 and U.S. Highway 70 near the Parmer County line in far-northern Bailey County.[1]
