Media representation
The 1957–1959 CBS western television series Trackdown, starring Robert Culp as Texas Ranger Hoby Gilman, is set in a fictional Porter, Texas, of the 1870s. Gilman often leaves Porter for other places in Texas to capture an assortment of outlaws. A secondary cast remains in Porter. Ellen Corby filled a supporting role as the fictional Henrietta Porter, the editor of the local newspaper The Porter Enterprise after the death of her husband. Other fictional residents in the series were played by Peter Leeds, James Griffith, Gail Kobe, and Addison Richards. The existing Porter in Montgomery County apparently did not exist until 1892, when a United States Post Office was first established there or perhaps a few years earlier but well after the fictional events of Trackdown.
