About the area |
Named for Olla Mills (daughter of a founder), this territory elevated less than 160 feet above sea level reports American, Irish, English, German, French, and French Canadian ancestries influencing its lifestyle and traditions. Incorporated in the 1890s, this community of more than 3 square miles of extension shares borders with Urania, Tullos, Clarks, Grayson, Georgetown, Jena, Midway, and Columbia. Located 240 miles away from Houston (TX), this land supports its economy thanks to mining, public administration, wood products, construction, educational services, and health care industries. |
