Topic: Athens, Texas


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
 Handbook of Texas Online:
Athens, the "Black-Eyed Pea Capital of the World," is located thirty-five miles west of Tyler on State highways 19 and 31 and U.S. Highway 175 at the center of Henderson County.
The county seat of Henderson County was first Buffalo (1846), then Centerville by election (1848), and finally Athens (1850); neither of the first two county seats was within the new county boundaries delineated in 1850.
Athens was first incorporated in 1856, and a mayor and city marshall were elected in 1874; but the town, in one historian's words, "never moved a peg" until 1900.

 Athens, a Texas City that Never Was.
Kendall's book is about the ill-conceived 1841 Texas venture to New Mexico, an attempt by Republic of Texas President Mirabeau B. Lamar to establish trade with Santa Fe, which had an overland link to St. Louis in the United States.
For one thing, as Kendall wrote, Athens lacked "only all the essentials to support a large population." For another, the developer apparently did not realize he did not have 100 percent local support for his project.
One day, digging what would be Athens' first well, the developer and several of his slaves found themselves surrounded by Comanches.
