Reagan was established in 1873, shortly after the Waco and Northwestern Railroad completed the section of
track between Bremond and Ross. A post office opened that year, as well, and was named for William Reason
Reagan who donated the land for the townsite.[1]

Transitioning from a rail stop to agriculture during the 20th century Reagan saw most of its businesses move to
the nearby county seat of Marlin. Current residents commute to nearby cities where they are employed in
non-agricultural professions. Farming and ranching are still practiced but the majority of income is derived from
other sources.
The population grew to 500 by the 1890s, and reached a high of 600 in 1914.[2] Despite the small population
and being an unincorporated community, Reagan is the home to the Texas Pneumatic Tools Company.[3]
