Lufkin was founded in 1884 and named for Abraham P. Lufkin. It originally served as a stop on the Houston, East and West Texas Railway. It was officially incorporated on October 15, 1890. Lufkin continued to serve as a stop on the railroad until the 1890. 3 businessmen founded Angelina Lumber Company which led to much of the economic prosperity Lufkin would see later in history. When the so-called "timber boom" came to an end a new "golden era of expansion" began. This era saw Lufkin becoming more industrialized with the opening of Lufkin Industries and Southland Paper Mill. In the mid 1960s, a cultural expansion began and improvements were made to education and the way of life. This included museums and the opening of a new library.[6]

History

The city was originally founded in 1882 as a stop on the Houston, East and West Texas Railway, the city is named for Abraham P. Lufkin, a cotton merchant and Galveston city councilman. Lufkin was the father-in-law of Paul Bremond, president of the Houston, East and West Texas Railway which developed the town. Lufkin continued to grow because of its proximity to the railroad and its lumber industry. The history of Lufkin can be divided into 3 main eras the railroad era, the timber boom, and the golden era of expansion.[6]

Railroad era

The railroad era lasted between 1882 and 1890. In 1881, the area that is now Lufkin was little more than a small settlement known as Denman Springs. However, a railroad surveying team began to plan a route through Angelina County, Texas. They began to survey a possible route through Homer, Texas which at the time was the county seat of Angelina County. According to legend, the men in the surveying team began to get rowdy in the saloon in Homer which led to their arrest. They paid their way out the next morning. However, this infuriated the chief surveyor. He ordered the team for the rail line to bypass Homer and go by Denman Springs. Conveniently, the new route went through the property of Lafayette Denman and his son, Dr. A. M. Denman who as the legend goes had hosted the surveying team a few days earlier. This legend is most likely not true since the prospectus in 1879 already had the railroad planned to bypass Homer and go through the future site of Lufkin.[6]

The railroad officially arrived in 1882 and the company began to advertise the sale of lots of land in Lufkin. During this time many of the businesses and professionals from Homer began to relocate to Lufkin in order to be closer to the railroad. Some of the first stores in Lufkin included S. Abram's general store, Joseph Kerr's grocery and saddle shop, and W. H. Bonner's general store. These stores were all located on Cotton Square, which became the center of most economic activity in Lufkin. Behind the depot, which was on the cotton square, cotton was stored before being shipped on the railroad. The town continued to grow and acquired a post office in 1882 with the postmaster being William A. Abney. Soon after in 1883, a telegraph line was strung connecting Lufkin to Nacogdoches, Texas by telegraph. On October 15, 1890, the town was officially incorporated. The first mayor of Lufkin was J. M. Smith, who was the owner of Smith Hotel, he was elected on November 15, 1890. Even before the incorporation of Lufkin, the courthouse was sought to have been moved. However, by a vote in 1885, the courthouse remained in Homer. In November 1891 a mysterious fire destroyed the courthouse in Homer. This prompted a petition from the citizens of Lufkin asking for a new election to he held to decide if the courthouse should be relocated to Lufkin. the election was held on January 2, 1892, and the citizens decided to relocate the courthouse to Lufkin.[6]

Timber boom

The timber boom lasted between 1890 and 1920. There are 3 main lumbering families that are recognized for much of the economic prosperity in Lufkin: the Kurths, the Hendersons, and the Wieners. Joseph H. Kurth, Sr., was a German immigrant, Kurth had operated a sawmill in Polk County, Texas before. He moved to a small settlement north of Lufkin known as Keltys. In 1887, Kurth obtained a sawmill from Charles L. Kelty, he was soon joined by S. W. Henderson, Sr., and Sam Wiener, both of Corrigan, Texas. In 1890, the 3 men started the Angelina County Lumber Company. The company became the forerunner of the lumber industry in East Texas, and led to much of the economic prosperity in Lufkin. At the peak of the three families' activity, there were nearly a dozen sawmills and several other industries.[6]

Golden era of expansion

The golden era of expansion occurred between 1938 and 1945. In the late 1930s two of the principal industries in Lufkin: the Southland Paper Mill, later known as Abitibi Bowater Inc. which closed in 2007,[7] and Texas Foundries opened. These companies provided much of Lufkin's industrial growth. The largest industrial employer was Lufkin Foundry and Machine Company, later known as Lufkin Industries and ceased operations in 2018.[8][6]

Cultural expansion

In early Lufkin history, most daily life revolved around churches, schools, and sports activities. However, this began to change between 1965 and 1983 when Lufkin began a cultural expansion. Many new things such as Kurth Memorial Library, new museums, a civic center, Angelina College, a new federal building, a country club, municipal and city park improvements, two shopping malls, and improvement to the Lufkin Independent School District. Lufkin celebrated its centennial in 1982.[6]

Climate

Lufkin is a humid subtropical climate that generally has relatively high temperatures with evenly distributed precipitation throughout the year. Generally, this climate is seen on the eastern side continents between 20° and 35° N and S latitude. During summer, these regions over low-latitude ocean waters are generally under the influence of hot, maritime overflow from the western side of subtropical anticyclonic cells. These higher temperatures can lead to warm oppressive nights. Due to an increase in thunderstorms, summers in Lufkin are usually wetter than winters. Additionally, tropical cyclones can increase precipitation during the summer. Cold months are usually mild and frosting is uncommon.[16]
