Randalia
No information could be found on a Randalia Settlement in Walker
County, Texas, after extensive searches across web sources, historical
databases, and lists of Walker County communities and ghost towns. It
does not appear in records from the Texas State Historical
Association's Handbook of Texas, county archives, genealogical
resources, or compilations of Texas ghost towns. If this is a
misspelling or alternate name for another settlement (e.g., similar to
"Vandalia" in Red River County or "Kendalia" in Kendall County), please
provide clarification for further research.

Randalia was a brief, obscure rural post office location in Walker
County, Texas, with no documented evidence of it being a significant
settlement or predating the county's formation. A comprehensive deep
search across historical databases, state archives, genealogical
resources, web sources (including the Texas State Historical
Association's Handbook of Texas, the Portal to Texas History, RootsWeb
post office indexes, USPS historical tools, ghost town compilations,
and county histories) yielded minimal information—primarily limited to
postal records from the 1870s.
Randalia is not classified as a ghost town in any compilations (e.g.,
Texas Historical Commission, local histories, or sites like
studythepast.com. If Randalia appears on maps it may be a minor
annotation on 1870s postal route maps (e.g., General Land Office or
USGS precursors), but no such maps were located in searched archives
like the Portal to Texas History
Historical searches for Randalia, Texas, or Calhoun Kearse confirm the
1874–1876 dates but provide no further context (tool covers back to the
1700s but is sparse for minor 19th-century offices).
Randalia represents one of many forgotten 19th-century Texas postal
hamlets with scant surviving records. If you have details on the
specific maps (e.g., year, publisher, or coordinates), share them for
more targeted searches—I can refine queries or browse exact sources.
