MANGUM

Modern history of Mangum begins in 1905 with the erection of the grand old High School; this also marked the building epoch; 1906 found the court-house under construction. Brave citizens dragged the Wichita Falls & Northwestern through our city in 1909 and the same year the foundation of our $40,000 Methodist Church was laid. This same year the Central School and two ward buildings of modern scientific construction were opened for the Mangum children; then followed the City Hall, which is a most modern constructed building, being of brick and concrete from ground to roof. This year a $50,000 Baptist church was completed also. Our schools are of the finest in the State and our citizens the finest. In fact, we have a most modern, up-to-date city of the first class---a city second to none.
