Huntsville is a city in and the county seat of Walker County, Texas, United States.[5] The population was 45,941 as of the 2020 census.[2] It is the center of the Huntsville micropolitan area. Huntsville is in the East Texas Piney Woods on Interstate 45 and home to Sam Houston State University, Texas State Prison, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Huntsville State Park, and HEARTS Veterans Museum of Texas.

The city served as the residence of Sam Houston, the first and third president of the Republic of Texas who later represented the state in the U.S. Senate. He is recognized in Huntsville by the Sam Houston Memorial Museum, a statue on Interstate 45, and Sam Houston State University, located in central Huntsville.

History

[edit]
Downtown Huntsville in the 1870s.

The city got its beginning circa 1836, when Pleasant and Ephraim Gray opened a trading post on the site. Ephraim Gray became first postmaster in 1837, naming it after his hometown of Huntsville, Alabama.[6]

Huntsville became the home of Sam Houston, who served as President of the Republic of Texas, Governor of the State of Texas, Governor of Tennessee, U.S. Senator, and Tennessee congressman. Houston led the Texas Army in the Battle of San Jacinto, the decisive victory of the Texas Revolution. He has been noted for his life among the Cherokees of Tennessee, and— near the end of his life — for his opposition to the Civil War, a very unpopular position in his day. Huntsville has two of Houston's homes, his grave, and the Sam Houston Memorial Museum. Houston's life in Huntsville is also commemorated by his namesake Sam Houston State University, and by a 70 ft (21 m)[7] statue. (The towering statue, "A Tribute to Courage" by artist David Adickes, has been described as the world's largest statue of an American hero,[8] and is easily viewed by travelers on Interstate 45.)

Huntsville was also the home of Samuel Walker Houston (1864–1945),[9] a prominent African-American pioneer in the field of education. He was born into slavery on February 12, 1864 to Joshua Houston, a slave owned by Sam Houston. Samuel W. Houston founded the Galilee Community School in 1907, which later became known as the Houstonian Normal and Industrial Institute, in Walker County.

In 1995, on the grounds of the old Samuel W. Houston Elementary School, the Huntsville Independent School District, along with the Huntsville Arts Commission[10] and the high school's Ex-Students Association, commissioned the creation of The Dreamers, a monument to underscore the black community's contributions to the growth and development of Huntsville and Walker County.

After a book display at the Huntsville Public Library (HPL) generated a controversy among city officials in 2022, the library removed two book displays. Following the removal of the book displays, the city decided to privatize the library.[11]

Economy

[edit]
The BOT Complex, the administrative headquarters of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Huntsville's largest employer as of 2005

As of 2022, the largest employer in Huntsville is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with 6,744 employees.[24] In 1996 the TDCJ had 5,219 employees in Huntsville. Robert Draper of the Texas Monthly described Huntsville as the "company town" of the TDCJ; he stated that the industry was "recession-proof" and that "It's hard to find a person in Huntsville who doesn't have at least an indirect affiliation with the prison system", since many businesses indirectly rely on its presence.[25] As of 1996 the TDCJ employed over twice the number of people employed by Sam Houston State University, the city's second-largest employer.[25]

As of 2022, Sam Houston State remained the second-largest employer in Huntsville, with 2,417 employees.[24] The university has a strong role in the study of criminology.[25] The third-largest employer is the Huntsville Independent School District, with 980 employees. The fourth-largest employer, Huntsville Memorial Hospital, has 552 employees. Four hundred eighty-five employees work for the fifth-largest employer, Walmart.[24]

As of 2020, Huntsville's average income was lower than Texas' average income.[26]

Texas Department of Criminal Justice

[edit]
The Huntsville Unit, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice-operated prison in Huntsville, the home of the state's execution chamber

Huntsville has the headquarters of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), the Texas agency that operates state correctional facilities for adults.[27][28] The Texas prison system has been headquartered in Huntsville since Texas's founding as a republic, and the TDCJ is the only major state agency not headquartered in Austin, the state capital.[29]

Several TDCJ prisons for men, including the Byrd Unit,[30] the Goree Unit,[31] the Huntsville Unit (home of the state's execution chamber),[32] and the Wynne Unit, are within Huntsville's city limits.[33] The Holliday Unit, a transfer unit, is also in Huntsville.[34]

The TDCJ Central Region Warehouse and Huntsville Prison Store are in the TDCJ headquarters complex.[35][36] The Food Service Warehouse is behind the Wynne Unit.[37] The TDCJ operates the Huntsville District Parole Office in Huntsville.[38]

As of 1996 the TDCJ director resided in a mansion across the street from the Huntsville Unit.[25]

Other state agencies

[edit]

The headquarters of the Texas Forensic Science Commission is located at Sam Houston State University.[39]

Transportation

[edit]

Greyhound Lines operates the Huntsville Station in Huntsville.[40] As of 2001 many former prisoners released from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system use the station to travel to their final destinations.[27] The station is three blocks uphill from the Huntsville Unit, a point of release for prisoners exiting the TDCJ.[41]

Bruce Brothers Huntsville Regional Airport is located in Huntsville. Renamed from the Huntsville Municipal Airport in 2009, Bruce Brothers Huntsville Regional Airport is a city-owned, public-use airport.[42] As of December 2015, it is still listed as the Huntsville Municipal Airport by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Texas Department of Transportation.[43]

Culture

[edit]

In September 2009, the Huntsville Cultural District was designated by the Texas Commission on the Arts as one of the first seven state cultural districts. Museums, art galleries, artist studios and workshops, historic homes, theaters and theatrical performances are located within the Cultural District in historic Downtown Huntsville. The Cultural District is also home to some of the finest historical architecture in Texas, including murals created by world-renowned artist Richard Haas and unique homes built from recycled materials created by Dan Phillips of Phoenix Commotion complement the historic aspects of the district.[44] You can enjoy self-guided walking and driving tours, art activities, music-theater-dance performances, shopping, antiquing, and unique eateries.[45]

Ruth Massingill and Ardyth Broadrick Sohn, authors of Prison City: Life with the Death Penalty in Huntsville, Texas, said that Huntsville shares several traits with other small towns. For instance many insiders include members of Huntsville's founding families, who still reside in Huntsville. They also said "Disagreement is a well-established Huntsville tradition."[46] The authors say that debate is a significant part of the leadership agenda, and that the residents of Huntsville disagree about capital punishment.[47]

Colleges and universities

[edit]

Sam Houston State University is located in Huntsville. It also served as the first location for Austin College.[49]

Residents of both Huntsville ISD and New Waverly ISD (and therefore the whole city of Huntsville) are served by the Lone Star College System (formerly North Harris-Montgomery Community College).[50]

Public libraries

[edit]

The 7,000 square feet (650 m2) Huntsville Public Library opened on Sunday September 24, 1967 after the group "Friends for a Huntsville Public Library" had campaigned for the opening of a public library.[51] The Huntsville Public Library provides a relevant print collection as well as offering access to electronic resources, as well as having over forty public access computers for adults, teens, and children. The Texas State library has made available a large array of professional databases, giving the public access to thousands of professional journals, encyclopedias, language programs, educational tutorials, and informational sites. Patrons of the Huntsville Public Library have access to information that was previously only available at university and major public libraries.[52]

In 2022 the library took away a display related to LGBTQ topics.[53] In December of that month the city council voted to have Library Systems & Services, a private company, operate the library.[54]

Adult prisoner education

[edit]

The Windham School District, which provides educational services to prisoners in the TDCJ, is headquartered in Building B in the Wynne Unit in Huntsville.[55][56]

Tourism

[edit]

Huntsville has several tourist attractions, including an art tour, a downtown walking tour, a Prison Driving Tour, Sam Houston's grave, the Sam Houston Memorial Museum, the Sam Houston Woodland Home, A Tribute to Courage (a 67 foot tall statue of Sam Houston), The Texas Prison Museum, and a folk and cowboy music festival held every April.[26]

A Tribute to Courage is the world's tallest statue of an American Hero. Standing on a 10-foot granite base, the 67-foot tall statue of Sam Houston is visible from I-45 northbound for 6.5 miles. David Adickes, the creator of Big Sam, transformed 60 tons of concrete and steel into the monument and dedicated the statue to the City of Huntsville on October 22, 1994.[57]

Within the Huntsville Cultural District, the Wynne Home Arts & Visitor Center offers a wide variety of arts and cultural programs tailored to the interests and needs of Huntsville's diverse community.

The Sam Houston National Forest is one of just four National Forests in Texas. The forest contains 163,037 acres between Huntsville, Conroe, Cleveland, and Richards. The forest is home to the 128-mile Lone Star Hiking Trail, a portion of which has gained National Recreation Trail status.
