User:Gideon Heed/Hagansport, Texas

Hagansport is an unincorporated community in Franklin County, Texas, United States. It is located at the junction of State Highway 37 and Farm Road 71, eleven miles northwest of the county seat, Mount Vernon.

The name derives from an early settler by the name of Hagan, who established a crossing on the Sulphur River. Hagan's Port eventually became one word, Hagansport. This was the spelling of the name by the time the first post office was established in 1857. The community grew to around 150 by the 1880s and had a post office, school, gin, sawmill, and other businesses. The population has gradually declined since then, resulting in the closing of the post office and school. In 2000, the population was estimated at forty.

As of 2010, Hagansport had three churches, a community center, a cemetery, and one general store.
