In 1905, postal service to the settlement began, and in 1906, Everman established an independent school district. In 1917, the community was one of three sites selected to serve as a flight-training school for the Canadian Royal Flying Corps and the United States Signal Corps, Aviation Section. Barron Field, just outside the city, stimulated the local economy and increased population growth. In 1976, the Everman Garden Club obtained a Texas Historical Marker for the Barron Munitions Building, which after the war had served as a schoolhouse for African-American schoolchildren.
