London Texas!

London Texas! London, also known as London Town, is a farming community on US Hwy 377 about 18 miles northeast of Junction in Kimble County. The town was established in the Lat 1870's or early 1880's by Len L. Lewis, a horse trader and a former office in the Union Army who moved to the area in 1878.

After marrying a local widow, Lewis bought a half-section of land and proceeded with this plans to build a town that he hoped would become a trade center for the region. In 1881 a store opened up on the site by Ed, Tom and Robert Stevenson (Robert was the future father of Coke Robert Stevenson qv), and soon thereafter Lewis laid out a townsite.
