Dime Box, Texas History, Genealogy and Trivia

Home town of Texas Ranger Frank Malinak - L. Malinak
There's an Old and a New Dime Box. The name comes from the practice of leaving a dime in a box at Brown's Mill to get a letter delivered to Giddings. This was before a Federal Post Office opened in 1877. "Old" Dime Box is the second oldest (Evergreen is the oldest) town in Lee County. - D. Harrison
