When Lake Limestone officially filled and Sterling C. Robertson Dam closed its gates in October 1978, many residents understandably believed the project was a product of the energy- hungry 1970s. Indeed, the Brazos River Authority first publicly advanced what became Lake Limestone in 1973–74, and the Journal itself claimed the talk began in 1973 in an article published just a day before the lake’s dedication in October 1979. Yet a closer reading of the Groesbeck Journal archives reveals that the idea of damming the Navasota River was not new at all. In fact, it had been seriously studied as early as the mid-1950s—nearly twenty years before the Brazos River Authority took the reins.
