(County Seat)		 304630N 0942455W TX Community Profile - Woodville 

* Some of the "place names"of the smaller or "ghost towns" were gleaned from a wonderful and colorful book: The 35 Best GHOST TOWNS In East Texas..and 220 other towns we left behind. This is one of Bob Bowman's Books about east Texas and was published in 1988 by: Best of East Texas Publishers. This book is a must have for any East or Southeast Texas researcher.

Also, some of the foregoing information was gleaned from 1001 Texas Place Names, by Fred Tarpley, printed by University of Texas Press. 1980 (ISBN 0-292-76016-7).

Other details and maps are linked to GNIS - Geographic Names Information System. Also some of the more obscure location information was located in the Texas Handbook Online.

Do you have more information or locations on communities or towns that don't exist any more but once were thriving communities????? Tell everyone about them!!
