A town called Charlie

Charlie, Texas, is in Clay County, in way North Central Texas, not far south of Oklahoma.

“The community was called Big Wichita Valley in 1878, when Henry T. Dunn built a store just south of the Red River. Later Dunn sold the store to Charlie Taylor, and almost immediately the site became known as Charlie. For years the store was a popular trading post for county farmers and ranchers and some Indians from nearby Indian Territory (later Oklahoma). In 1882 a post office opened at the community. By the mid-1920s the population of Charlie surpassed 200. After the Great Depression and World War II, however, the community's population count declined. The Charlie post office closed sometime after 1930. From the early 1970s through 2000 the community's population was estimated at sixty-five.”

A Facebook page ostensibly for Charlie lists some bands playing at the Silver Dollar Saloon, but it’s not in Charlie, Texas. A search shows what anybody knows – There are lots of places called Silver Dollar Saloon in several states.

Charlie does have Wicked Andy’s Insane Acres Haunted House. Maybe a town of 65 has things to be haunted about.
