Athens, Texas, established in 1850 and named after Athens, Greece, is the county seat of Henderson County and one of East Texas s most culturally rich communities. Known for its blend of small-town charm and historical significance, Athens played an important role in regional agriculture, rail transport, and local industry.

The city is widely recognized as the Birthplace of the Hamburger , credited to local cook Fletcher Davis, and proudly calls itself the Black-Eyed Pea Capital of the World due to its historic farming legacy. Prominent landmarks include the Henderson County Courthouse (built in 1913), the Faulk and Gauntt Building (1896), and the East Texas Arboretum, which showcases local flora and trails. Athens is also home to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, Lake Athens, and the Athens Scuba Park, making it a destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Trinity Valley Community College, founded in 1946, serves as a hub for regional education. Today, Athens remains a vibrant community.
