Frank X Tolbert. Dallas Morning News Oct 29, 1962/ The remnants of the community disappeared during the 1990s, when the land was redeveloped. Lolaville was named after Lola Kelsey Dunafan, whose father owned several hundred acres in the vicinity, including the site of present-day Stonebriar Mall. The particular four acres that became Lolaville were acquired in 1928. Lola's husband, Ernest, built a general store and several houses to be rented to black farming families.

The transaction was brokered by Wayne Pickering, who was sentenced to 2 years in prison for bank fraud.Pickering sentenced to prison for role in Caprock theft
