Nameless, Texas

Nameless (also known as Cross Creek or Fairview) is a populated place in Travis County, Texas.[1]

History

A post office was established at Nameless in 1880, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1890.[2] The locals decided out of desperation to name their community Nameless after several applications containing other names were turned down by the post office.[3] "Nameless" has been noted for its unusual place name.[4]
