- Dearfield
- Unincorporated Populated Place
- Founded in 1910 by Oliver Tousaint Jackson (1862-1948) a black man who bought the land and with several other blacks named it Dearfield. By 1922 this all-black community had over 700 residents but, due to the post-World War I agricultural depression and the drought in the late 1920s, the town closed and is a ghost town today (CO-T3/020492/p1 & CO-T3/022393/p18)
