History

This community, earlier known as Nopal, San Miguel, and Franklin, is one of the area's first permanent settlements. It was named for Samuel C. Cross, who opened a grocery store and became the first postmaster in 1924. The post office closed in 1934. A gas well completed nearby in 1953 was the largest in the state at that time. Ranching also is important to the economy.
