Welcome to Kelm ...
So far, we found very little information about Kelm. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>
We've added Kelm to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Kelm - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Kelm, please Contact Us.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Kelm, you might consider that their post office opened in 1894. Time Zone: The area where Kelm was located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Kelm was on a map titled Map of Texas (from Rand McNally, 1911).

Footnotes ...
<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 Kelm, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. <2> If you're interested in how the shape of Texas' counties, including Navarro, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. <3> A copy of their list with background information can be found at:
