PECAN GROVE, TEXAS (Delta County). Pecan Grove was three miles southeast of Cooper, south of City Lake, and just off Farm Road 1529 in southern Delta County. Little is known of early settlement, but the Granny's Neck School had moved there, changing its name to Pecan Grove, by 1886, when the Santa Fe line built track through the area. By 1936 the community was no longer identified on maps, and in 1949 its school was absorbed into the Cooper Independent School District. A 1964 map showed Dawson Cemetery and a few scattered dwellings at the site of the old settlement.
