Diboll, TX

Tucked into the Piney Woods of southern Angelina County, Diboll is a small, quiet community of around 4,500 people with deep roots in the timber industry. The town got its start in the late 1800s as a sawmill hub along the railroad, and forestry is still an important part of local identity today. Shaded neighborhoods and locally owned businesses give the area a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere that feels settled and welcoming.
