Texas, Kimble County, near Junction
This Kimble County landmark was named for a nearby canyon from which trees were cut for telegraph poles in the mid-19th century. The store and post office were built about 1890-1900. The first commissioned postmistress was Ruth Holmes in 1900. For many years this has been the stopover place for vacationers along nearby South Llano River and travelers enroute to points south. The Telegraph Post Office was the Kimble County address of Texas Governor Coke R. Stevenson. The site retains the rustic charm of it's early years, and has served the community for a century.
