Area History

Central Polk County sits within the historic Piney Woods of East Texas, a landscape shaped by 19th-century timber operations, small farmsteads, and early rail and river trade tied to the Trinity River basin. Communities like Moscow developed around sawmills, churches, and rural roads, supporting generations of forestry, cattle grazing, and subsistence agriculture. This legacy of working timberlands and dispersed settlement continues to define the area’s quiet, rural character today.
