Majors, Texas

Majors, Texas is an unincorporated community located in Bastrop County, Texas, United States. It is situated along Farm to Market Road 2104, approximately 10 miles southeast of Bastrop, the county seat.

While never formally incorporated, Majors once boasted a post office, a school, and several businesses, serving as a local trade center for area farmers and ranchers. The community's growth was primarily tied to agriculture, particularly cotton production.

The community's decline began in the mid-20th century as transportation improvements allowed residents to access larger towns and cities for goods and services. The school consolidated with nearby districts, and businesses gradually closed.

As of the early 21st century, Majors remains a rural community characterized by scattered residences and agricultural land. Few, if any, of the original businesses or public institutions remain active. Population estimates are unavailable from official sources, but are generally considered very low. Its historical significance lies primarily in representing a typical small, rural Texas community that experienced growth and subsequent decline due to changing economic and social conditions.
