Hemphill, Texas—a cozy Sabine County spot where the pines meet the water! Established in 1858 as the new county seat (sorry, Milam!), it’s named for John Hemphill, a Texas legal legend who helped shape the state’s early days. Nestled near the Sabine National Forest and Toledo Bend Reservoir, this town of 1,029 (2020 count) grew up along old cattle trails and timber routes, with sawmills buzzing by the late 1800s.

Here’s a quirky story: In 1966, Hemphill made headlines when a local fisherman hauled a 6-foot alligator gar out of Toledo Bend—folks swore it was a lake monster! Crowds gathered, photos snapped, and the tale still swims around campfires today. That beast is even stuffed and displayed at the Sabine County Courthouse if you want a peek.

Fun facts: Hemphill’s got a starry claim—designated a 'Dark Sky Community' for epic stargazing thanks to low light pollution. It’s also a gateway to the 76-mile Sabine River paddle trail. And did you know the annual Sabine County Fair here dates back to the 1940s? Think fried pies, rodeos, and small-town charm. Who’s adding Hemphill to their Texas adventure list?
