Blount/Blunt

Located in eastern Freestone County, twelve miles northeast of Fairfield. A 
soil survey map from 1918 shows Spring Bank school to the SW and Tyus Bluff to 
the east overlooking the Trinity River.  Blount was located south of Big Brown 
Creek and NW of Camp Branch. Now the location is near Big Brown coal plant in 
what is now Fairfield Lake.  Blount had a post office from 1900 to 1908.  The 
post office shared the building with a grocery store there.

The Blount school moved from the Rocky Springs community to the Blount community 
in 1913.  Previously it was only a six month school.  The school remained small 
with a single teacher for all grades.  Blount had a one room school house.  
Blount school eventually consolidated with the Fairfield Independent School 
District in 1939.
