Energy is an unincorporated community located in Comanche County in Central Texas, United States.[1] A post office is the only business or service, although a large dairy farm is located just beyond its eastern border, as is a trailer home complex. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 65 in 2000.
The area in what is now known as Energy today was first settled around 1896. Will and Charlie Baxter operated a store in the community and named it for the residents who lived in the community, who were described as "energetic". A post office was established at Energy around 1896, with John W. Moore serving as postmaster. Its population was 67 in 1940 and decreased by two residents from 1990 through 2000.[2]
Although Energy is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP Code of 76452.[3]
On April 11, 1979, an F2 tornado struck Energy heading west toward Hico. Barns were destroyed and homes sustained roof damage. A woman was injured when her truck rolled into the ditch in which she was taking cover.[4]
