Not many residents maybe, but incorporated in 1839, so not a young city...
I think this part of the country (I live near Dallas), except for some SL cards (and T210s), didn't have a lot of distribution back in the early days. Cards were more in areas that had tobacco and candy mfg'ing...

I see lots of 1988 Donruss and similar cards but I did find a stack of raw 1952 Topps on sale for $1 each.
In terms of pre-War, I have never seen anything although I live in Austin, TX, which is a "newer" city and didn't have a ton of residents back then.
Good luck with your quest. It is exciting when you find something.
