| Description |
|
Led by members of the Conner, McKinney and Drennan families, this
East Texas farming community was permanently settled in the 1850s.
Named for the "Plain Folks" who lived here, the settlement
included a school, church, grist mill, cotton gin, post office and
this cemetery, which began in the mid-1850s on the Frederick Conner
family land. Residents of the community farmed and worked for the
nearby 4-C sawmill operation at the turn of the century. Although
never recorded as a town site, the Plain Community has survived
as a reminder of early Houston County history.
