History
Esperanza was named for a farm in the area; its name means "hope" in Spanish. In 1935, a post office opened in Esperanza; Bessie Greene McCoy was the first postmaster. Esperanza's population rose from 50 in the 1930s to 100 in the mid-1940s; it remained at 100 until falling to 75 in the 1960s, where it has remained through 2000. As of the late 1980s, the community contained a school and some houses.[2]
gollark: I was once in Edinburgh consuming food from a Subway and found that there was actually a vegan protest in front of it.
gollark: This is because people don't actually seem to work, on the whole, according to stated ethical values.
gollark: Thus, if you try and make me do things which are "good according to some ethical standard which I claim to roughly agree with" but inconvenience me personally a significant amount, such as veganism, I may just entirely ignore you because "some animals do not like being used to produce milk for me" is part of the "far group" of issues I am not really paying attention to.
gollark: Ignoring things when it's convenient.
gollark: See, us humans have *amazing* abilities when it comes to ignoring things which don't directly affect us.
