Kittrell
Kittrell was twenty miles north of Huntsville in Walker County. It was named for Pleasant W. Kittrell,
a pioneer physician who arrived in 1850 and settled north of the
Trinity River in the region designated Kittrell's Cut-Off because it was
separated from the remainder of the county by the Trinity River.
Kittrell died in the yellow fever epidemic of 1867. The community that
bore his name had a post office from 1898 to 1920; J. H. Dunlap was
postmaster in 1914. In 1911 a six-grade school operated at Kittrell. In
1914 the Texas Gazetteer reported a general store and cotton
gin there. In 1933 the population was fifty. In 1945 the community had
twenty-five residents and one business. In 1991 county highway maps
listed a general region designated as Kittrell (Trinity) oilfield. TSHA
