Angelina County, Administrative division in East Texas, United States.
Angelina County is an administrative division in East Texas, featuring dense forests of pine and hardwood trees throughout its landscape. The Angelina River and Neches River border the region, shaping its natural boundaries.
The area was established in 1846 as a separate entity from Nacogdoches County. Its name honors a Hasinai woman who helped early Spanish missionaries in the region.
The county distinguished itself during the Civil War when it voted against leaving the Union. This historical stance set it apart from neighboring regions throughout East Texas.
The George H. Henderson Jr. Exposition Center serves as the main venue for community events and gatherings. Regular meetings take place on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month.
Sam Rayburn Reservoir occupies a significant area within the county and serves as a major focal point. The lake supports water supply needs while offering extensive opportunities for water-based recreation.
