It was formerly known as Freemont, then renamed to Peasterville in the mid-1880s, then later the Ville suffix was dropped. The population reached 100 in the 1890s, growing to 300 residents in the mid-1920s. Peaster is also an unincorporated community in Parker County, Texas, and is located on Farm Road 920 nine miles northwest of Weatherford in northwestern Parker County. Robert E.
