About Overton

Overton is a quiet East Texas community tucked into the pine trees across Rusk and Smith counties. Originally founded in the 1870s as a railroad stop and shaped by the region's 1930s oil boom, it offers a laid-back, small-town atmosphere today. Neighbors appreciate the peaceful rural setting, affordable homes, and easy daily drives to larger nearby cities like Tyler, Kilgore, and Henderson. For anyone looking for scenic country living with deep local roots, Overton provides plenty of room to settle in.
