Initially Sycamore contained general stores, churches, a blacksmith and a cotton gin.{{Cite web |title=Sycamore Cemetery, Wise County TX |url=https://wisecountytexas.info/cemeteries/sycamore.htm |access-date=2024-08-28 |website=wisecountytexas.info}} The post office was established on August 17, 1894, with David S.
