Welcome to the City of Henderson!

Nestled in the great piney woods of East Texas, Henderson is named for the first governor of Texas, J. Pinckney Henderson, who also served as the first Attorney General of the Republic of Texas, and later Secretary of State.  Henderson is located where major US Highways 259 and US 79 meet. Hendersonites boast that all roads lead to Henderson where you will find the red carpet of hospitality.
