History

Mahl was founded in the early 1900s during the Gilded age when the Texas and New Orleans Railroad was built. The town got its name after the last name of a local railroad official, albeit the name backwards. The post office was built later that year and the local school was founded in 1904, where nearly 60 students received quality education. The "golden age" of the town was in the mid 1910s, when the town had two stores, the school, saloon, blacksmith, cotton gin, and a home of 100 residents. The two world wars caused the town to decline, and by the 1950s the school and last business shut down. By 1990, one household was recorded as a "Mahlite".[1]

Education

The Central Heights Independent School District serves the one household in Mahl.[2]
