Dull is a ghost town in La Salle County, Texas, United States.
History
Brothers James and Andrew Dull owned a large ranch in La Salle County in the late 1800s.[2] Tracts of the ranch were sold when it closed in 1901, and the community of Dull—named after the ranch—was established in 1912 on one of those tracts.[3][4]
The settlement was located along the San Antonio, Uvalde and Gulf Railroad. A post office—established in 1913—changed its name to "Nettaville" in 1915, and closed in 1919.[3][4]
During the 1940s, oil from a nearby well was loaded onto tank cars at Dull and then shipped by rail.[5]
