Education
A one-room school building was erected 2 ½ miles south of Moline and was soon replaced by a larger building. It continued to operate in 1930 and had a house for educators five years later. Declining enrollment caused the school to join the schools in Lometa and Star in 1943. It continued to be used as a community center.[2] Today, the community is served by the Star Independent School District.
