History
Pueblo was founded as a station on the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad. A post office was established at Pueblo in 1909 with Edgar Robinson serving as postmaster. During its most prosperous point in 1915, Pueblo had 50 residents who were served by a general store and the post office. The community began its decline after the post office closed in 1918. There were 18 residents served by one business from 1930 to the 1940s. The 1948 county highway map showed a business and several scattered dwellings in Pueblo. Its population was reported as 24 by the Texas Almanac in 1964, but it was listed as being in nearby Eastland County. The former townsite, still shown on Callahan County highway maps as a dispersed rural settlement, is located half a mile east of Pueblo's Eastland County location. The Pueblo Plant, a gas pressure plant located on Texas State Highway 6 8 mi (13 km) northwest of Cisco, is located in Eastland County. In addition, the plant provided housing for its workers. The population grew to 46 from 1968 through 2000.[2]
