About Lufkin

Lufkin is an East Texas city and the county seat of Angelina County. Anglo settlement in the area began by the early 1800s, and the city later grew with timber, railroads, manufacturing, and regional services. Angelina College gives Lufkin an education presence, while local history includes three World War II POW camps. The Texas State Forest Festival and Southern Hushpuppy Championships add a distinctly local civic tradition each September. Lufkin feels like a piney-woods regional hub: practical, rooted, and surrounded by deep East Texas landscape.
