Who'd Thought It was a farming community in northern Hopkins County, Texas, United States.
The community was located near Farm to Market Road 1536, east of Tira and north of Sand Hill. It was most likely settled after 1900. Its etymology is unknown. Who'd Thought It had two stores (the first of which was operated by Levi Kearny, according to the Texas State Historical Association){{Cite web |last=Merrell |first=Danny MerrellDanny |date=2023-10-02 |title=Nobody Knows Why This East Texas Ghost Town Had Such an Odd Name |url=https://kicks105.com/ghost-town-strange-name/ |access-date=2025-07-05 |website=KICKS 105 |language=en}} and several houses at one point before World War II; children attended the nearby school in Sand Hill. The stores eventually closed, and by the 1980s, Who'd Thought It had become a ghost town.{{Cite web |last=Association |first=Texas State Historical |title=Who'd Thought It: A Brief History of the Ghost Town in Hopkins County |url=https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/whod-thought-it-tx |access-date=2025-07-05 |website=Texas State Historical Association |language=en}}
