ATHENS, TEXAS
Athens, in central Henderson County, was established in 1850 on a site selected by
a board of land commissioners for the new county seat to replace the earlier locations
at Buffalo and CenterviZe. Mat Cartwright donated 100 acres from the
Thomas Parmer survey for a townsite, a square was laid out, and streets were surveyed
bu S3am elZ uffer. Dr. John Collins is said to have built the first house in
the newz town, originally called Alfred for Alfred F. Mallard, the post master.
rDi ring thhe towz's first year, it was renamed Athens, either by Mrs. Dulholland
Averi/tt for Athens, Greece or by Mrs. Dulcenia Thomas for her former home of Athens,
Georgia. The Masonic lodge building, erected in 1850, housed the first school. In
1855 a Presbyterian church was built, J. M. Deen built a hotel and E. A. Carroll
opened a store. The town was incorporated in 1856, but the incorporation lapsed
afWter a few years and was not renewed until 1901. The Athens BULLETIN, published
on a hand press by J H1. Cox in 1873, suspended publication in 1875; it was followed
by the ATHENIAN in 1884 and the Athens REVIEW in 1885. The town was reached by the
Cotton Bert Railroad (later the St. Louis and Southwestern) in 1880 and by the
Texas and New Orleans in 1900. (From the HANDBOOK OF TEXAS, Vol. I, The Texas
State Historical Association, 1952, Austin, Texas.)
