HENDERSON, TEXAS. Henderson, the county seat of Rusk County, is on U.S.
Highway 259, 138 miles east of Dallas near the center of the county. It was
named for James Pinckney Henderson, the first governor of Texas, when the
town was laid out in 1843. A post office was established there in 1846. The
town grew rapidly during its first two decades, but a fire in 1860 destroyed
most of the commercial buildings. The Henderson and Overton Branch Railroad
was completed in 1877 and connected the agricultural center of Henderson
with the Illinois and Great Northern at Overton.
