Corsicana

The terrain around Corsicana is gently rolling Blackland Prairie, whose fertile dark soils have shaped both the city’s growth and its agricultural economy. Oil discovered here in 1894 made Corsicana one of Texas’s earliest petroleum centers, and rail links strengthened its role as Navarro County’s trading town. Downtown is anchored by the Navarro County Courthouse, completed in 1905, while Collin Street Bakery, founded in 1896, has made the city widely associated with fruitcake.
