Picture a bright cool day in the spring. You are driving home from work
and anxious to see your son pitch his first game of the season with the town's Little League Baseball team. After the
game, everyone plans to go down to the local park for barbecue and more fun. Once evening comes, and all the
neighborhood friends say their goodbyes, you drive to your three bedroom, two bath, classic American home. You kiss the
kids goodnight and sleep peacefully until morning.
This sounds like an ideal day for any American. A day without traffic, violence, and continuous noise. Instead, these
annoyances are replaced with with courteous driving, laughter, and friendliness. A true reality in Kirby, Texas.

Have you ever heard of Kirby? My mission is to inform you of the history of Kirby, Texas and what the town is today, to the best of my ability. Also, to encourage current residents or past residents to come forth and share all of what they know or experienced in Kirby. This way the town may be appropriately represented. Today, the internet provides very little about the town's history. I hope to change that with this site, and add some flavor and dialogue to the list of facts the current Kirby websites provide today.
