Jacksonville

Region: Piney Woods

Was a post office community before 1849, but moved three miles to present site when International-Great Northern Railroad was built in 1872. During the 1930s and '40s the city was known as the "tomato capital" when more tomatoes were shipped from here than any other city in Texas. Each June the city celebrates Tomato Fest honoring the once important crop.

More than 80 diversified manufacturing firms are located here, many associated with plastic, wood, and air-conditioning coils and condensers.

Home of Baptist Missionary Assoc. Theological Seminary, Jacksonville College and Lon Morris College.

A basket factory-direct store is popular with shoppers. Bed & breakfasts are available in city.
