HistoryAccording to the Handbook of Texas, the community was established in 1905 and named for W. M. Sager, the townsite donor. It was a shipping point for locally grown agricultural products such as cotton, cattle, and poultry on the newly constructed {{w|Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway}}.[2] Beginning in 1909, the Stamford and Northwestern Railway, stretching from Stamford to Spur, also provided rail service.[3] Fires in 1917 and 1926 caused extensive property damage, and the town's bank, organized in 1908, failed in 1931.[2] GeographySagerton is located at the intersection of Texas State Highway 283 and Farm to Market Road 1661 in the Rolling Plains region of West Texas, about {{convert|2|mi|km}} to the east of the Double Mountain Fork, a major tributary of the upper Brazos River. The Double Mountain Fork and the Salt Fork merge to form the Brazos River (proper) just {{convert|15|mi|km}} to the north of Sagerton. PopulationSagerton was never a large town.[4] The population rose to 300 in 1940 and fell to 115 in 1980.[2] According to the 2000 Census, the estimated population of Sagerton has remained at around 115 residents.[2] References1. ^{{cite gnis|id=1345836|name=Sagerton, Texas}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{Handbook of Texas|id=hls03|name=Sagerton, Texas}} 3. ^{{Handbook of Texas|id=eqs32|name=Stamford and Northwestern Railroad}} 4. ^Robert E.
