Mt. Enterprise is the oldest community in Rusk E HES Y County. William Elliot, Leonard Williams were the first of the pioneers who migrated from Tennessee in 1826. Each of them filed for a league of land and they were given title to it in the spring of 1829. These farmers settled near two mountains in Mt. Enterprise and the name Mt. Enterprise is said to mean a new enterprise near a mountain. OF MT. ENTERPRISE First Post Office in the Old Town Old home in the Old Town Ln 1830 there was a tavern in old Mt. Enterprise where travelers could spend the night and where couriers could change horses. The tavern operator 's name is unknown. The tavern sold necessities to the few farmers living in the area. A road existed in these days from Nacogdoches to Jefferson which at that time also had water transportation. Mt. Enterprise was a stop-over point for the night and Sam Houston spent the night in 1832 on his first trip to Texas from Oklahoma. The Elliots and the Williams' were well known to Sam Houston. ln 1833 he again spent the night on a second trip to Nacogdoches. In 1832 the first store opened in Mt. Enterprise with Charlie Vinson owner. Lumbering was the first industry in Mt. Enterprise. ln the next few years people began to move into the area and the Ross family migrated from Tennessee in 1836. The com- munity had attained village size with several stores, a tavern, and a hotel. William Ross was the doctor. A. H. Watkins was the first chief justice of Rusk County who moved to Mt. Enterprise from Nacog- doches about this time. His father was Jesse Ross who was killed by the Cherokee Indians in 1839 while on a mission to the Caddoan tribes near Dallas and Ft. Worth. These did not exist as towns at this time. Hart's Drug in Mt. Enterprise ,qi-,bi 1
