Star Route
The community of Star Route is located approximately six miles west of Morton on the Portales Highway and is named after the rural mail route it is on.
A grocery store/service station, along with a few cabins, were built at the crossroads there in 1936 by J. T. Kelly. The following year, 1937, W. J. Weaks built a gin near store.
