On November 2nd

1872 to 1957 — what the record says happened on this date, in the order the years gave it to us.

  1. 1872event
    Sumpter

    On November 2, 1872, the Trinity County courthouse at Sumpter burned, taking county records with it. The seat of government soon shifted to Trinity, and Sumpter — once a thriving Sabine River landing with stores, hotels and a busy courthouse square — began the long fade that left it a near-ghost town in the East Texas pine woods.

  2. 1957history
    Levelland UFO case site

    The November 1957 wave produced multiple independent stalled-engine reports. The record dates it to 1957-11-02. Levelland UFO case site's past is on record — the entry belongs to the verified layer beneath the roadside lore. It's verified history: the dossier's load-bearing detail. The detail is preserved in 'Levelland UFO case'. It is the kind of fact the rest of the dossier leans on.
