Nice city parks and very well preserved architecture are some of the elements defining this territory in Angelina County sharing border lines with Hudson, Burke, Pollok, Diboll, and Huntington. Founded in the 1880s, this land of more than 26.5 square miles of extension and elevated more than 315 feet above sea level, this area witnessed the space shuttle Columbia disaster back in 2003, when seven crew members lost their lives during the Mission STS-107. The economy of this territory observes a household median income of $33000 versus 15% of poverty, which reveals the need of good resource management on behalf of the local authorities.
