Randolph, Houston County, Texas

Randolph, also known as Old Randolph, was an unincorporated area in Houston County, Texas.

History

Randolph was located on the Old Kennard-Crockett Road (now approximately at the intersection of Texas State Highway 21 and FM 1733)[1] about 12 miles from Crockett and 3 miles (4.8 km) from Kennard, Texas. It was founded in 1838 by Cyrus Halbert Randolph. By 1860, it had a school, a post office, a saloon, a blacksmith, a barber shop, and a Masonic lodge. During that time, it rivaled Crockett for the county seat, but declined after the American Civil War. It was completely abandoned by 1900. Today, only a cemetery remains.[2]

Education

Any students who might live in the area would be zoned in the Kennard Independent School District. [3]
