history
Bogata is one of the oldest places in Texas. The first family to settle here came as early as 1818 and settled near the source of Little Mustang Creek . They named this place Maple Springs . More settlers came to the area over the years and by 1844 Maple Springs was big enough to be able to build a school. A post office followed in 1851. The first commercial activities did not start until after the American Civil War , with the opening of a shop that sourced its goods from Jefferson .
In 1880 the extensive settlement was divided. The old Maple Springs post office took the name Rosalie and in 1881 a second post office opened in the west, today's Bogata, named after the Colombian Bogotá . In 1885 there were already two churches, two cotton processing plants and six flour mills and 400 residents. In 1910, the Paris and Mount Pleasant Railway moved their tracks to Bogata. Railway operations were discontinued in 1956.
