A little about the town...

Shattuck, with a current population of nearly 1300, is the largest town in Ellis County. Most of the land around Shattuck was settled under the Homestead Act of 1894. The town was incorporated in 1906 and was named after George O. Shattuck, a director of the Santa Fe Railroad.
