A short history of Toyah

On October 25, 1906, a black man in Toyah named J.I. "Slab" Pitts was dragged to death and then hanged for living with his white wife, Eva Ruff.

In September 1928, Amelia Earhart made an unscheduled five-day stop to adjust her carburetor. She relates in her journal that she landed in a small town near Pecos, Texas, but according to a regional book, The Toyah Taproots, several local, unnamed youngsters were seen in pictures around her airplane were later identified as being from Toyah.

In 2004, much of the town was destroyed by floods and a high wind event, damaging several homes, cars, and the cemetery, leaving much of the town deserted. The old bank building was left destroyed.
