Tesnus, Texas


Tesnus is a ghost town and unincorporated community in Brewster County, in the U.S. state of Texas.

History

Tesnus was laid out in 1882 when the Southern Pacific Railroad was extended to that point. Tesnus was so named for the fact a sunset appeared in the logo of the Southern Pacific Railroad. A post office was established at Tesnus in 1912, and remained in operation until 1954.
