A great question! This is what I found: "Local legend has it that Possum Kingdom got its name from a fur trader out of nearby Mineral Wells who always referred to the trappers in northwest Palo Pinto County as the "boys of Possum Kingdom", a name often associated with a particular bend of the Brazos River."

I haven’t seen any opossum yet…. Do they live there?.
