| Located on State Highway just south of
Kerens in southeastern Navarro County, Texas was established around 1900 on land
belonging to Henry Goodlow. In the mid-1930s the primarily black community had
two churches, two schools, and a number of houses. After World War II the
Goodlow schools were consolidated with the Kerens schools, but the community
continued to grow.
Goodlow incorporated in 1978 after the City of Kerens refused
to annex it. Goodlow's estimated population in 1987 was 343, and in 1993 it was
405. In the early 1990s the community had several businesses and a number of
houses. |
