In 1909; real estate developer Orlando D. Jarrell had a vision: He would sell lots near the Bartlett Western Railroad site and name the town Jarrell. When the railroad bypassed the nearby town of Corn Hill and Jarrells lots began to sell; the residents of Corn Hill--and their houses--moved to the promising; new town. Rock quarries became and are still a mainstay of this area; shipping limestone all over the world. About 200 vintage photographs illustrate the time between 1855 and more recent years; including the monstrous 1997 tornado that put Jarrell into the national spotlight.
