|}}Greggton was an unincorporated community in Gregg County, located in the U.S. state of Texas. The community was originally founded in 1873 under the name "Willow Springs" as a stop on the Texas and Pacific Railway. Greggton's main thoroughfare would be designated as part of U.S. Highway 80 upon its establishment in 1926.[1]

The East Texas Oil Boom of the early 1930's saw the town grow. A post office established in November 1932 and the name changed to "Greggton" around the same time. In 1920 the town had a population of 180. By 1936 the population had grown to 1500 with 125 business and by 1949 the population had grown to 2350.[2] By the 1950s, the town had its own movie theater called "The Ritz"[1]

The town was annexed to Longview in December of 1959 with postal services transferred on May 31, 1960.[1][2]

Today, the Pine Tree Independent School District serves the parts of Longview that were once Greggton.
