History
Before settlers arrived, the area was the site of a Caddo campground. Pioneers arrived in the late 1850s. About 20 years later, I.T. Johnson and Henry King built a gristmill, and residents started referring to the community as Caddo Mills after the facility. On June 16, 1879, a post office opened. Around this time, the community had about 100 residents, three churches, and a school. In 1886, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway built a line through the town, and the population increased to 500. In the 1890s and early 1900s, the town became home to a newspaper and a bank. The population swelled to 790, but began declining in the 1920s. Caddo Mills had 390 residents and 20 businesses when it was finally incorporated in the early 1940s.
