We largely built the following list with information that came from an Atlas published by Rand McNally in 1895. The Atlas had details such as the population of the community (which appears to have come from the 1890 Census) and whether there was a post office and/or railroad service available. Over time, we will continue to add communities that we find during our research.
If it applies, we indicate whether a community no longer exists and is now historic.<1>
Candelaria itself is historic and described in the Rand McNally Atlas as having a population of 345 people in 1895 with a post office and railroad service.
The following communities are listed based on their distance from Candelaria, with the one closest to Candelaria listed first.
Columbus ‑ Historic (5 miles [8 km] to the southeast)
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 Candelaria, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
