(Freestone County).
Woodland is on Farm Road 1449 two miles northwest of
Kirvin in northwest Freestone County. The area was
settled in the late 1840s and early 1850s by pioneer
families. A church was organized in 1854 and a school
before 1857. In 1903 the school had an enrollment of
twenty-nine. The early post office was named Bonner for
the first postmaster, W. E. Bonner. The community had a
general store, cotton gins, blacksmith shops,
gristmills, and three churches. Land for a cemetery was
donated by L. R. Wortham, who also owned the general
store. The cemetery was named Woodland Cemetery, and the
earliest grave was laid in 1862. Woodland College for
Boys was established in 1863 on land donated by Wortham.
The college had an enrollment of more than 300 students;
it became a grade school with authorization by the Texas
legislature in 1866 and was renamed Woodland Academy.
The academy was discontinued in 1905 and moved to nearby
Kirvin. The coming of the Trinity and Brazos Valley
Railway through Kirvin in 1906 led to the decline of
Woodland. The churches, schools, businesses, and most of
the population moved to Kirvin or nearby areas. From the
1930s through the 1960s only the cemetery and a few
houses were still in the area. In the late 1980s a
church and cemetery were still there.
"In 1881, Houston lumberman Isaac Conroe
established a sawmill on Stewart's Creek two miles east
of the International Great Northern Railroad's
Houston-Crockett line on a tract of land in the J. Smith
survey, first settled in the late 1830's. A small tram
line connected the mill to the track, but Conroe soon
transferred his operations down the tracks to the rail
junction, where his new mill became a station on the I-GN.
In January 1884, a post office was established at the
mill commissary, and, at the suggestion of railroad
official H.M. Hoxey, the community took the name
Conroe's Switch, in honor of the Northern-born, former
Union cavalry officer who founded it and served as its
first postmaster; within a decade the name was shortened
to Conroe."
