The Angelina River forms much of the county&#8217;s eastern edge, and about 67 square miles (170 km2) of the county &mdash; roughly 7.7% &mdash; is water, including parts of Sam Rayburn Reservoir along the eastern boundary. Most of the county&#8217;s timberland is managed for pine pulpwood and sawtimber, the historic base of the local economy.<\/p>\n<p>Angelina County borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/nacogdoches-county\/\">Nacogdoches County<\/a> to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/san-augustine-county\/\">San Augustine County<\/a> to the northeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/jasper-county-texas\/\">Jasper County<\/a> to the east, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/tyler-county\/\">Tyler County<\/a> to the south, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/polk-county-texas\/\">Polk County<\/a> to the southwest, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/trinity-county-texas\/\">Trinity County<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/houston-county-texas\/\">Houston County<\/a> to the west, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/cherokee-county-texas\/\">Cherokee County<\/a> to the northwest.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Angelina County had 86,395 residents at the 2020 census, with a population density of about 108 people per square mile. Lufkin, the county seat, is by far the largest community at 34,143 residents, followed by Hudson at 4,849 and Diboll at 4,457. The county&#8217;s median household income runs below the Texas median of $75,780, reflecting its rural, timber- and manufacturing-based economy.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Timber and wood products remain central to Angelina County&#8217;s economy: Diboll grew up around a sawmill and is still home to Southern timber and forest-products operations. Lufkin, the regional hub, anchors healthcare (CHI St. Luke&#8217;s Health Memorial), manufacturing (Lufkin Industries, an oilfield-equipment maker founded in 1902), and retail for much of the surrounding Deep East Texas region. Angelina College and Stephen F. Austin State University&#8217;s Lufkin programs support the local workforce. The Texas Forestry Museum in Lufkin marks the industry&#8217;s role in the county&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Angelina County was organized in 1846, carved out of Nacogdoches County in Texas&#8217;s first year of statehood. It takes its name from Angelina, a Hasinai woman who assisted early Spanish missionaries in East Texas in the 1700s &mdash; one of the few Texas counties named for a Native American woman. In 1861, Angelina County notably voted against secession from the Union, a distinctive stand among East Texas counties during that period. The county&#8217;s economy shifted from cotton farming to timber in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as railroads and sawmills, including the one that founded Diboll in 1893, opened up the Piney Woods.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>US Highways 59 and 69 cross at Lufkin, along with State Highways 7, 63, 94, 103, and 147, giving Angelina County road access across Deep East Texas.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nacogdoches &mdash; 20 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Jasper &mdash; 40 miles east<\/li>\n<li>Livingston &mdash; 45 miles southwest<\/li>\n<li>Woodville &mdash; 35 miles south<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Angelina County Airport, about 7 miles southwest of Lufkin, offers regional air service; the nearest major commercial airport is George Bush Intercontinental in Houston, roughly 110 miles south.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Angelina County, Texas?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt lies in the East Texas Piney Woods, about 110 miles north of Houston, centred near 31\u00b016\u2032N 94\u00b037\u2032W.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Angelina County?<\/strong><br \/>\n86,395 people, according to the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Angelina County?<\/strong><br \/>\n865 square miles (2,240 km2) in total, of which 798 square miles (2,070 km2) is land.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Angelina County?<\/strong><br \/>\nLufkin is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Angelina County?<\/strong><br \/>\nSix incorporated cities and towns &mdash; Lufkin, Diboll, Hudson, Huntington, Zavalla, and Burke &mdash; plus the Redland CDP and dozens of unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Angelina County?<\/strong><br \/>\n75901, 75904, 75941, 75949, 75969, and 75980, plus PO-Box-only codes 75902, 75903, and 75915 in Lufkin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is the county named Angelina?<\/strong><br \/>\nFor Angelina, a Hasinai woman who assisted early Spanish missionaries in East Texas in the 1700s.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/texas\/\">Towns and villages in Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angelina County is a county in Texas, United States, in the East Texas Piney Woods.
