History
Byron was named by Postmaster V. C. Spurrier, who received a postal designation on April 27, 1898, for a town to be named Byron - after his relative, Byron Spurrier, who owned a store there. Originally located in Woods County, Byron became part of the newly organized Alfalfa County in 1907, at the time of statehood. While the town was listed in an 1898 state gazetteer, its lack of railroad access caused the new settlement to develop slowly at first. Its population continued to fall to 131 in 1950, 72 in 1970, and only 57 in 1990. Byron ended the twentieth century with a population of 45, and by 2010, the U.S. Census counted just 35 residents.
