Few Texas towns list much on the Register (a typical Texas town has 0.0 per 10,000 residents, the U.S. 2.4), so Everman’s 0.0 sits below most of its state (34% of Texas towns have fewer) while its 0 listings outnumber those of 23% of U.S. towns.

A small community to the east of present-day Everman was known as Enon. The "Enon" community name had been taken from the Bible. They had a doctor's office, a drug store, and a general store.
