Dillon, Texas. For the fictional town setting, see Friday Night Lights (TV series). Dillon is a ghost town in Hopkins County, Texas, located four miles south of Saltillo. The town was named after E.F. Dillon, who started operating the post office in his store in 1901. The post office closed in 1906, and in the mid-1930s the town disappeared from highway maps.
1 Dillon was founded in the Beaverhead Valley as a railroad town in 1880 by Union Pacific Railroad President Sydney Dillon. 2  The location of Dillon was selected by the railroad because of its close location to gold mines in the area. 3  Gold was first discovered in the Dillon area at Grasshopper Creek in 1862.
