Around 1880, the railroad established a section house for its workers, which began to grow the town. A general store and three saloons were constructed during this period. Sully Springs gained a post office in 1911 and a school in 1933. However, conditions during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl forced the residents to move, and the town was abandoned by 1939.[2]
