Ramsey is a former community about six miles northwest of Eagle Lake, along what is now Farm Road 102. It once had a railroad station, a cotton gin, a grocery store and schools. Little remains of it today, but historical records describe the families who lived there.
According to the Texas State Historical Association, a school known as Ramsey's Point served 18 Black students as early as 1883. By 1896, the community also had a school for white students with an enrollment of 23. A school record dated Sept. 1, 1888, lists 35 children aged 8 to 15, along with the names of their families. The surviving records do not establish that every child attended the same school.
The settlement also went by the names Nigh and Ramseyville. The name Ramsey may come from Martin D. Ramsey, an early settler. By the late 1880s, the community was a stop on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway. By 1894, according to Colorado County historical researchers, Southern Pacific Railroad had a depot and section house there, along with Wells Fargo express service and telephone access. That year, J.R. Alley operated a mill and cotton gin in Ramsey.
