About Goodrich

Goodrich is a quiet East Texas community in southern Polk County, located along U.S. 59 about seventy miles north of Houston and just south of Livingston. The town took shape in the late 1870s around a stop on the Houston, East and West Texas Railway, named after local landowner William M. Goodrich. Over the decades, the area developed around East Texas timber, family farms, and oil, establishing a steady rural backdrop that still defines the town today.

Goodrich Texas School 2018

With around 250 residents, Goodrich offers a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle surrounded by wide-open land and pine trees. The local school district serves as the main hub of community activity, where neighbors gather for events at the historic 1930s school building and support the Goodrich Hornets. For newcomers looking for open space and true small-town quiet, Goodrich provides country living within an easy drive of both Lake Livingston recreation and the Houston metro area.
