History
Hammond was originally the site of two plantations purchased by Dr. B.F. Hammond in 1853. After the Civil War, Hammond became a small community which primarily served former slaves from the plantation. In 1869, the Houston and Texas Central Railway built a station in Hammond. Hammond had a post office from 1870 until the 1930s. The population from 1970 to 2000 was estimated as 44.[2]
gollark: I mean, yes, it *kind of makes a bit of sense*, but it's really unintuitive.
gollark: Oh, that too, seems very stupid.
gollark: This was discussed on the esolangs server a bit back: yes, floats are nice because they're fast and all, but "don't report errors unless explicitly asked for" and "reserve piles of values for nan" seems stupid.
gollark: I don't like it much either.
gollark: Fun fact: Python package management is evil.
