Editing Realitos, Texas (section)

==History==
The population of Realitos had reached a total of 400 people in 1890, four years after the first post office was established there. The population peaked as an estimated 800 were living there just two years later. The population thereupon began to decrease, with numbers such as 225 residents being reported in 1914. In the 1960s, Realitos still had a running school, but it consolidated with [[Benavides Independent School District|Benavides]] in the middle of the next decade. Many buildings remain in the small, unincorporated community today including a pool hall (now closed), store, and gas station.<ref>[http://texasescapes.com/SouthTexasTowns/Realitos-Texas.htm Realitos at TexasEscapes]</ref>
