Rusk County, established on January 16, 1843, from parts of Nacogdoches County, is rich in history and heritage, named after Thomas Jefferson Rusk, a significant figure in Texas history. The county seat, Henderson, was founded with land donations from early settlers and became a hub for commerce, particularly following the discovery of oil in the 1930s, which revitalized the local economy.

Throughout its history, Rusk County has seen diverse populations, including early Native American communities and later Anglo settlers. The county's development was marked by agricultural prosperity, the impact of the Civil War, and a tragic school disaster in 1937, which have all shaped the community into what it is today.
