From Wikipedia...
The town was established as a stop on the Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City Railway that was built through the area in 1894. Serving the local sawmills and lumber camps, the post office was established at Lumberton in 1909. [4] In 1914, the post office was relocated to the Fletcher site nearby which was a major sawmill until the mid-1920’s. [4] After the closure of the sawmill at Fletcher, the area would remain populated and would become part of the City of Lumberton when it was incorporated in 1973.
