Every time I drive to Denton I pass through
Argyle. It’s a little tiny town with a variety of
housing types – farms,
ranches, small bungalows, and mansions. Europeans first settled in the Argyle area (formerly known as Pilot
Knob or Waintown) on vacant or unclaimed land in the 1850s under the auspices
of the Peters colony; they raised cattle on nearby open ranges. The settlement slowly grew with the first school
actually being established in nearby Graham in 1875. A year later the Graham
Baptist church was organized in the school, and by 1878 a post office had been
created in a log cabin.
