Dull, Texas

Dull is a populated place in La Salle County, Texas, United States.

History
Brothers James and Andrew Dull owned a large ranch in La Salle County in the late 1800s. Tracts of the ranch were sold when it closed in 1901, and the community of Dull&mdash;named after the ranch&mdash;was established in 1912 on one of those tracts.

The settlement was located along the San Antonio, Uvalde and Gulf Railroad. A post office&mdash;established in 1913&mdash;changed its name to "Nettaville" in 1915, and closed in 1919.

During the 1940s, oil from a nearby well was loaded onto tank cars at Dull and then shipped by rail.
