Littig, Texas
Littig  is a small unincorporated community in eastern Travis County, Texas, United States. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 37 in 2000. It is located within the Greater Austin metropolitan area. History
One of the state's oldest Black communities is claimed to exist there. On land donated by a former slave named Jackson Morrow, the townsite was established in 1883. The former general division agent of the Houston and Texas Central Railway, A. B. Littig, who conducted the townsite survey, is honored by the town's name. A church was erected in 1887 on land that J. W. Bitting gave as a gift. There was a post office founded in 1889, with Thomas B. Fowler serving as the postmaster. In 1900, Littig had 168 persons, a general store, two cotton gins, and three churches. The town's population dropped from an estimated 150 in 1936 to 35 by the 1940s as a result of the community's collapse that started in the 1930s. After the Littig post office was shut down in 1954, it received its mail from Elgin. On topographic maps of the region from the 1980s, the village was indicated by a church and some houses. 37 people were reportedly living in Littig between the late 1960s and 2000. Geography
