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 near 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]
