It is unknown when it was settled, but it is believed it was before 1900. In the mid-1930s, Sand Ridge had several scattered houses and several businesses. These details remained the same in the mid-1960s, even though many residents left after World War II. By 1990, it became a dispersed community.[2]
Geographyedit
The community was located on Texas State Highway 21, approximately 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Crockett in southwestern Houston County.[2]
Educationedit
Sand Ridge had its own school in the mid-1930s.[2] Any residents who live there are within the Lovelady ISD.
