In 1844, a group of Missouri parishioners migrated to Texas. In the winter of 1846, some of these people established the Lonesome Dove Baptist Church in Southlake. It still operates today and is the oldest church in Tarrant County. The name was chosen, some say, to honor the lonesome dove of the Bible, representing innocence and gentleness, especially as opposed to Jim Crow Laws and prejudice.

In 1881, Mr. HW Wood worked as a pharmacist in Tarrant County. He was also a landowner and provided 40 acres to build a community near the railroad tracks slong Double Springs, Texas, close to the current Keller. The town was named Athol. (extracted from Joyce Gibson Roach, Wild Rose: A Folk History of a Crosstimbers Settlement: Keller, Texas). The town was renamed Keller in honor of local railroad foreman John Keller a year later. Because of the railroads’ expansion of transport and the growth of Dallas and Fort Worth, Keller has always been an expanding town.; however, in the late 20^th – 21^st centuries, town planners purposefully continued this growth.

The novel and film based on the Lonesome Dove church included characterizations of locals Oliver Loving and Charles Goodnight. They became Captains Augustus McCrae and W. F. Call, but in reality, the Goodnight-Loving Trail honors them. Men worked hard on this trial and at least 16 woman worked the trails as well (see Amazon book below, right).
