About Us
The City of Athens is a hidden gem with a rich heritage, nestled in the Piney Woods of East Texas. It’s located 75 miles from Dallas, 35 miles from Tyler, Corsicana, and Palestine, and 26 miles from Canton. Athens is the County Seat of Henderson County, which was established in 1846 — just four months after the United States annexed Texas. An estimated 12,890 residents in 16 square miles enjoy the charm of this small southern town that retains many qualities of living in a larger city.
