About Garrison
Garrison is a quiet East Texas town in northern Nacogdoches County, home to around 800 residents. The community got its start in the 1880s when Captain Jim Garrison provided land for a new railroad line, quickly turning the settlement into a bustling hub for local timber and rail workers. Today, the town has settled into a peaceful rural rhythm, surrounded by the scenic Piney Woods and the winding Attoyac River.
For anyone considering a move here, Garrison offers a relaxed country setting within easy reach of city conveniences. U.S. Highway 59 provides a straight 18-mile drive southwest into Nacogdoches, making for a quick commute to Stephen F. Austin State University, regional medical centers, and everyday shopping. In town, much of the community spirit centers on the Garrison Independent School District, where Bulldog sports and school events bring families together year-round.
