Cresson is a city at the borders of Hood, Johnson, and Parker counties. The town was named after John Cresson, a captain of a wagon train who camped in the area prior to the Civil War and returned in later years to open up a store. Cresson soon became a hub on a cluster of stagecoach routes. As the railroad came through the town in 1887, the same year Cresson was awarded a post office, the stagecoach lines became extinct. Meanwhile, the Forth Worth and Granbury markets had opened to the town’s agricultural products and livestock. Cresson continued to gather the most essential businesses, doubling its population in 1904.
