Celeste, TX

Celeste is a quiet Hunt County community located about ten miles northwest of Greenville along U.S. 69. Founded in the 1880s as a railroad stop on the North Texas prairie, the town spent decades serving local farming families and trade routes. Today, it retains that peaceful agricultural character and relaxed countryside atmosphere. If you are looking for wide-open space and a slower pace without straying too far from regional hubs, Celeste provides a comfortable rural landing spot within easy reach of Greenville.
