--part1_0.78743e19.258240d3_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit According to the Handbook of Texas there were two Stampede's in the area..... STAMPEDE, TEXAS (Bell County). Stampede is on Stampede Creek and Farm Road 2601, twelve miles northwest of Temple in northern Bell County. The creek's name probably derived from some cattle-driving mishap. The community had a post office from 1883 to 1901 and a general store in 1896. The Stampede school served fifty-nine pupils in 1903. In 1933 Stampede reached a peak population of sixty-two and supported one business. By 1949 the population had fallen to thirty, and the community had a business, the school, and a Baptist church. By 1964 Stampede had only ten inhabitants living in several scattered dwellings. The population was still recorded as ten in 1990. Mark Odintz STAMPEDE, TEXAS (Coryell County). Stampede was six miles southeast of Pidcoke in southern Coryell County. It had about forty families in 1917. They attended the Refuge church. Stampede had a school that burned in 1921 and had to be rebuilt. Residents were forced to relocate when the Fort Hood military reservation was established in the early 1940s.
