In 1840s, it was discovered that the seat of Anderson County, a village called Houston (not the major city of Harris County) was two miles off center. Taking literally the legislature's guidelines that county seats should be at center of counties, new town of Palestine was created as county seat; former community faded away. Palestine has more buildings in the National Historic Registry than any other Texas city except Galveston. Self-guided tour brochures available from Tourist Information Center.
