<1> We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Serbin, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. <2> If you're interested in how the shape of Texas' counties, including Lee, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. <3> The elevation is an estimate for the area around Serbin - it will be higher in some places and lower in others. <4> The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
