The Tehuacana Hills are a series of hills in Limestone County, Texas. LocationThe hills are located northwest of Tehuacana in Limestone County, Texas.[1] They are "650 feet above sea level and 150 feet higher than the surrounding area".[1] HistoryIn 1797, Philip Nolan encountered the Tehuacana people, a Native American tribe of the Tawakoni ethnic group, living at the Tehuacana Hills.[2][3] They were sedentary farmers.[2] By 1830, the Cherokee tribe had exterminated the Tehuacanas by burning the tall grass growing on their settlement.[2][3] There is a legend in Texas folklore about a Tawakoni Ghost looking down on the town of Tehuacana from the hills.[3] In 1852, Tehuacana Academy was established at this location.[2] Meanwhile, John Boyd, a Tennessee-born white settler, staked a claim on the land.[4][5] He later donated 1,100 acres for the establishment of Trinity University.[2][5] References1. ^1 "TEHUACANA HILLS," Handbook of Texas Online (http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/rjt09), accessed October 26, 2014.
