|}}Jarvis is a ghost town in Anderson County, in the U.S. state of Texas. It is a part of the Palestine, Texas micropolitan area. Although it is considered a ghost town by the Handbook of Texas,[1] the Geographic Names Information System classifies it as an unincorporated community.[2]

History

An unsuccessful oil-drilling operation occurred in the area in 1909. In the 1930s, the community had a few homes, two churches, and only one operating business. Then the 1982 county highway map showed a few scattered houses in Jarvis, while a church named Fields Chapel was located a half mile north of the area along U.S. Highway 84. The community has never been listed on county highway maps since 1985, but the church was still in operation.[1]

Geography

Jarvis stood along the Texas State Railroad at the junction of two county roads and just south of U.S. Highway 84, about {{convert|10|mi|km|abbr=on}} east of Palestine in the southeastern portion of Anderson County.[1]
