Harlow General Store 1890 Pillow

Harlow was a small community just west of State Highway 34 about four miles south of Greenville in central Hunt County, Texas. The settlement began in the late 1800s by the Harlow family and had just one business, the Harlow General Store, which opened in 1890. The store supplied the small population of the town and those passing through along the highway, and also was an outlet for the Harlow family's crops. The town itself was shown on county highway maps beginning in the '30s, and by the '80s, the community all but disappeared, both from maps and from the northeastern Texas landscape.
