Frognot Texas, a History


Just some history

  Thanks to Ted Wright, We now know that Frognot received most of its publicity from Ira Boren, a Frognot ham operator and Otis Dixon, whose general store was full of ceramic frogs given to him by customers. Dixon attended classes in the old Frognot log school and had pictures of the children attending many years ago. Today a sign and a big green frog painted on a water tower are all that remains of this famous Collin County community.

  Thanks to Wendall, from Blue Ridge, I learned that there once was a gas station and diner there. Both are long gone, but the sign still hangs on a pole there.


Location

  According to the maps, Frognot is located on FM-981 between county roads 628 and 671 (+33° 18' 13.00", -96° 21' 35.00"). This is just a little bit east of Blue Ridge Texas.

  One of the interesting things in Frognot is the water tower, or tank. It has a caricature of a frog painted on it. There are two water towers that I know of. One is on FM-981 and the other is on HWY-78.
