Huntsville

Built around a trading post established in 1835, Huntsville grew into the Walker County seat and an important East Texas university city. It stands in the Piney Woods, a broad forest belt that gives this part of Texas a markedly different character from the state’s open plains; Lake Raven lies in nearby Huntsville State Park. Sam Houston made his home here and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, while Sam Houston State University traces its origins to the Sam Houston Normal Institute, founded in 1879.
