Welcome to Texas ...

So far, we found very little information about Texas. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Texas to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Texas - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Texas, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Texas , we believe that it would have been located within present day Hamilton County<2>.

Time Zone: The area where Texas was located is in the Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT) and observes daylight saving time

The Area Codes where Texas was located: 513 & 283<3>

Communities Also Named Texas ...

While we believe that this Texas is located in Hamilton County, we know of another 2 Ohio communities named Texas. Those communities are located in the following counties: Crawford and Henry County.

Beyond Ohio, there are 24 communities that are also named Texas - they are located in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi (2), New Jersey (2), New York (2), North Carolina, Pennsylvania (2), Quebec, South Carolina, Vermont and West Virginia.

Footnotes ...

<1>	We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Texas, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Ohio's counties, including Hamilton, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>	When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 513 code has been Overlayed with the 283 area code. New phone numbers in the Texas area will be assigned with one of these codes: 513 or 283. As a result, placing a call in the Texas area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
