History

edit
Main Street in Cleburne in the 1910s

Cleburne is Johnson County's third county seat (the first being Wardville, now under Lake Pat Cleburne). It was formerly known as Camp Henderson, a temporary Civil War outpost from which Johnson County soldiers would depart for war (most of them served under General Cleburne). The city was formally incorporated in 1871.

Major General Patrick Cleburne of the CSA

Cleburne was near the earliest road in the county. The location featured water from West Buffalo Creek, making it a stop for cattlemen from the Chisholm Trail.[8]

In August 1886, the Texas Farmers' Alliance met at Lee's Academy[8] and adopted a 17-point political resolution, commonly known as the Cleburne Demands, which was the first major document of the agrarian revolt occurring at the end of the late 19th century.[9]

In 1900, Cleburne was the site of the founding convention of the Texas State Federation of Labor.[10]

Cleburne was primarily an agricultural center and county seat until the Santa Fe Railroad opened a major facility there in 1898. During this time, the population boomed, as it became a sizable city for the area with over 12,000 residents by 1920. The Chicago, Texas and Mexican Central Railway connected Cleburne to Dallas in 1882. Two other railroads had terminals in Cleburne. The Dallas, Cleburne, and Southwestern Railway completed a route to Egan in 1902, and the Trinity and Brazos Valley, nicknamed the Boll Weevil, operated from Cleburne from 1904 to 1924.[8]

Cleburne was the site of a prisoner-of-war camp for German soldiers during World War 2. The POWs worked as laborers on local farms.[11]

In 1985, the city was the petitioner in the U.S. Supreme Court case City of Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Center, Inc. after being sued over a special-use permit.

Cleburne is on the fringe of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Growth in the area has been primarily attributed to suburbanization.[12]

On May 15, 2013, Cleburne was hit by a powerful tornado that cut a mile-wide path through part of the city and damaged about 600 homes and two schools. The National Weather Service rated it EF-3, which has winds between 136 and 165 miles per hour (219 and 266 km/h). No deaths or severe injuries were reported.[13]

Scrub brush, cacti, mesquite, and grasses are the predominant flora supported in this environment.

Architecture

edit
Wright Building
Historic Downtown District
Joiner-Long House

Cleburne has several buildings and a district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Cleburne Downtown Historic District contains buildings spanning from 1877 to 1968 that showcase local and national building styles.[21] The first building in Cleburne built by a professional architect was the Carnegie Library Building, a two-story Classical Revival building partly financed by the Carnegie Foundation. Built in 1905 by Zimmerman and McCoy under contract by Smith and Moore.[22] The 1912 Johnson County Courthouse was built by Dallas architects Lang and Witchell with Charles E. Barglebaugh to replace the 1883 courthouse after burning down. The 1912 courthouse follows the Classical Revival style with Prairie-Style elements.[23] The Wright Building is a two-story masonry commercial building built in 1893 and doubled in size in 1916. Its initial purpose was as a wagon and saddle shop.[24] The Joiner-Long House, built in 1895 and added to in 1910, represents a mix of the original Victorian style and the later Colonial Revival style.[25]

Buildings on the List of Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks include the Church of the Holy Comforter[26], John L. and Annie Upshaw Cleveland House[27], Johnson County Feeders Supply[28], Dotey-Kirkham House (Little Old House)[29] and Yellow Jacket Stadium[30].
