Historic Places Across Texas

Landmarks and geographic features can help place an ancestor in the landscape around them. Browse the TXGenWeb landmark collection by county to find historical places, cemeteries, churches, schools, communities, and other named locations.

About This Collection

These TXGenWeb pages were created by Wayne Moyers of Granbury, Texas, who maintained them through December 2003. The collection is now maintained by TXGenWeb.

For official Texas historical-marker information, also search the Texas Historical Commission Atlas, which includes historical sites, buildings, homes, businesses, churches, courthouses, cemeteries, and other resources.

A Note About Coordinates

Older USGS maps may use the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27), while later maps may use NAD83. Coordinates for the same physical location can therefore differ.

If a historic coordinate appears slightly away from the expected location, consider the map's datum before assuming the landmark has been identified incorrectly.

Why Landmarks Matter

An ancestor's records may name a creek, school, church, cemetery, settlement, post office, or community that no longer appears on modern maps. Identifying that place can help you determine where the family lived, which neighbors were nearby, and where additional records may have been created.
