Spur, Texas, has a population of about 1,000 folks living humbly within its 1.6 square miles.
Of note, the hamlet that produced native son Aaron Latham (who wrote the script of the 1980 film Urban Cowboy) and has no body of water any larger than a puddle bills itself as the nation's first "tiny house friendly" town.
