New Waverly

Built around a station on the Houston and Great Northern Railroad, New Waverly developed into a small Walker County town in East Texas. The community lies along Interstate 45 between Houston and Dallas, where the piney woods of Sam Houston National Forest shape the surrounding countryside. Its railroad origins remain an important part of local identity, linking the settlement to the transport route that encouraged its growth. New Waverly’s compact center serves residents, travelers and the rural areas around it rather than functioning as an urban destination. Nearby national-forest land is used for hiking, camping and hunting. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how New Waverly and the East Texas piney woods relate to their surroundings.
