History
Carpenter was named for a local land owner when founded in 1893 as a stop on the San Antonio and Mexican Gulf Railroad.[2] In the early 1900s, the community had a cotton gin, general store and post office, with Joseph Winkler as the postmaster, but the post office was discontinued in 1928.[2] The town steadily declined after the rail line was closed and today only a small cluster of homes remain.[2]
