}}Mesquite is a former town in Borden County, Texas, United States. From its inception, Mesquite remained a rural farming community. A school, established in 1905, served the area until 1952, after which the building appears to have been abandoned. Today all that remains at the site of Mesquite are a Church of Christ, and the abandoned schoolhouse.[5]

The rest of the town appears to have been subsumed by private farms for crop land.

Geography

Mesquite is located on Farm to Market 1054, east of US Route 87 and north of US Route 180. The nearest large community is Lamesa, about {{convert|15|mi|0}} to the southwest.
