Huntsville began around 1836, when Pleasant and Ephraim Gray opened a trading post on the site. Ephraim Gray became the first postmaster in 1837 and named the town for his hometown of Huntsville, Alabama. The hill at 7th Street and University Avenue, called Cotton Gin Hill, held several gins and was the area's ginning and shipping center.
Huntsville was the home of Sam Houston, who led the Texas army to victory at San Jacinto, served as president of the Republic of Texas and governor of the state, and near the end of his life opposed the Civil War, a very unpopular position. The town has two of his homes, his grave and the Sam Houston Memorial Museum, and it honors him with Sam Houston State University, founded in 1879, and a 70-foot statue by David Adickes, A Tribute to Courage, visible from Interstate 45. Bishop Ward Normal and Collegiate Institute, opened in September 1883, was the fifth college for African Americans in Texas. Samuel Walker Houston, born into slavery on February 12, 1864, the son of Joshua Houston, a man enslaved by Sam Houston, became a pioneering educator. In 1907 he founded the Galilee Community School, later the Houstonian Normal and Industrial Institute, in Walker County. Sources Wikipedia: Huntsville, Texas
