History
Bitter Creek was settled in the early 1880s by the Bardwell and Montgomery families. Bitter Creek is thought to have been located south of present-day Sweetwater, in northeastern Nolan County.[2] In 1923, oil was discovered in Bitter Creek. By the 1950s, its population declined to only five residents.
