Historical
Bartlett newspapers preserved by UNT Libraries
DENTON (UNT),
Texas -- Founded in 1881 when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway
laid tracks on the border of Williamson and Bell Counties, the town of
Bartlett, Texas, prospered in the early 20th century as a shipping point
for grain, livestock and produce. The Bartlett Tribune, a weekly
newspaper, provided lively coverage of the town, which reached a peak
population of 2,200 in 1914 and had three banks, three cotton gins, a
meat market and its own railway company, the Bartlett Western.
The University of North Texas Libraries will microfilm, digitize and
provide free online access to issues of the Bartlett Tribune, now
called the
Tribune-Progress.
