Antelope is an unincorporated community in Jack County, Texas, United States. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 65 in 2000.

History

Antelope got a post office in 1858, and B. F. Spear served as postmaster in 1859. Situated close to the West Fork of the Trinity River, the town served as a supply and overnight stop for cattle travelers. The six blocks surrounding the town square were surveyed and platted by Walter S. Jones in 1875, but the paperwork was not filed until 1889. With 300 residents and a hotel, many general stores, and Methodist and Baptist churches, Antelope offered daily stages to Henrietta and Graham for two dollars at the turn of the 19th century. Up until 1900, the town had a saw and grist mill, which was eventually replaced with a cotton mill. Drummers frequently spent the night in this location. The population was 200 in 1914. There was no mill or hotel in the hamlet, but there were still a few local businesses, a doctor, and a blacksmith. In the 1940s, there were 166 residents. The village featured a fuel station, garage, Methodist and Baptist churches, and the Mullins Brothers general store, which had been operational since 1883. The neighboring oilfields and stockrearing contributed to the community's prosperity. The population dropped to 65 in the 1980s and stayed there in 1990 and 2000. There were still two companies in the settlement.[2]

On April 5-6, 1955, an F3 tornado hit Antelope, Shannon, and Newport, but did not cause any damage.[3] On May 19, 2015, an EF0 tornado struck Antelope. This brief tornado caused minimal damage over open range land.[4]

Antelope had its own school in 1890 and the 1940s.[2] Today, the community is served by the Jacksboro Independent School District.
