About Powell

Powell is a quiet rural community in Navarro County, sitting along State Highway 31 just seven miles east of Corsicana and a short hop from Lake Corsicana. Originally founded as a railroad stop in the late 1800s and named after local landowner Bud Powell, the town boomed during an oil rush in the 1920s before settling back into its peaceful agricultural roots. Today, it offers wide-open Texas skies, rolling farmland, and a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to anyone looking for space and privacy.

Living in Powell means enjoying true country living while keeping everyday necessities close by. Major grocery stores, dining, healthcare, and jobs are only a ten-minute drive down the road in Corsicana. For families, local students attend the nearby Kerens Independent School District just a few miles to the east. It is a quiet, friendly corner of the county where residents can enjoy starry nights, plenty of elbow room, and a simple commute along the highway.
