Bragg, Texas
Bragg is a ghost town in Hardin County, Texas, United States, in the Big Thicket forest area of the southeastern part of the state. Sometimes referred to as "Bragg Station", this small community that flourished in the early 1900s lies ten miles west of Kountze. Named after the Confederate general Braxton Bragg, this town was built around an important railroad junction installed by the Santa Fe Railroad system in 1902.

Today, all that remains of Bragg Station is a small agricultural community and a loca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
