GeographyEnochs is located at {{coord|32|05|54|N|94|28|30|W|type:city}} (32.0982190, −94.4749246). It is situated at the junction of State Highway 315 and FM 1970 in southwestern Panola County, approximately 16 miles southwest of Carthage.[2] HistoryThe area was first settled around 1845 by Georgia native Jacob Cariker. He constructed a house two miles southwest of Reed's Settlement, one of the earliest communities in Panola County. During the 1870s, most residents from Reed's Settlement had relocated to the Cariker site.[1] A post office was established in 1874 under the name Clayton, after Clayton, Alabama, said to have been the origin of several early settlers. Clayton had a population of 130 in 1885. That number had risen to 200 by 1914. During the Great Depression, the population declined to 175 and steadily decreased thereafter.[2] By the late 1960s, the number of inhabitants stood at 125. By 2000, Clayton had 79 residents and two businesses.[1] Although it is unincorporated, Clayton has a post office, with the ZIP code of 75637.[3] Margie Neal, first woman elected to the Texas State Senate, was born near Clayton in 1875.[4]EducationPublic education in the community of Clayton is provided by the Carthage Independent School District. Clayton once operated its own public school district. In May 1905, Clayton School District #11 was created. It was defined and organized in February 1907. The district consolidated with Carthage in 1965.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | url = http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hnc68 | title = Clayton, Texas | work = | publisher = The Handbook of Texas online | date = | accessdate = 2009-11-01}} 2. ^1 {{cite web | url = http://www.texasescapes.com/EastTexasTowns/Clayton-Texas.htm | title = Clayton, Texas | work = | publisher = Texas Escapes Online Magazine | date = | accessdate = 2009-11-01}} 3. ^Zip Code Lookup {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110615112222/http://www.zipinfo.com/cgi-local/zipsrch.exe?cnty=cnty&zip=75637 |date=2011-06-15 }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fne02|title=NEAL, MARGIE ELIZABETH|work=tshaonline.org|accessdate=14 September 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.txgenweb4.org/txpanola/comm_clayton.htm | title = Clayton | work = Communities & Early Schools | publisher = Panola County, TXGenWeb | date = | accessdate = 2009-11-01}} External links
