Comanchebr/ Comanche County, Texasbr/ 31 56.284' N 98 29.939' Wbr/ Directions: Start at the intersection of SH-67 and CR-317. The marker is on the northeast corner of the intersection.br/ br/Text: Began as quot;Cordwood Junction,quot; a siding on the Fort Worth amp; Rio Grande Railroad. Flatcars loaded wood here to be shipped over a wide area. As demand for the fuel increased, the railroad built a station house at site. It was named in 1892 for O. H. Hasse, thought to have been the local railway agent, 1890s. Cotton and cattle brought more business to town. A cotton gin, stock pens, and lumber yard were built. With the advent of automobiles, migration to urban centers, and highways, however, Hasse began to dwindle. Today only a few buildings remain.
