Roanoke, Texas

In Denton County, the first settlement was on the original land grant of Travis Wright in 1847 at the confluence of Denton and Henrietta creeks. Following several floods, settlers moved the settlement to higher ground. When the Texas and Pacific railroad missed the community by a few miles, settlers again moved to the rail center. The settlement was then named Roanoke for a city in Virginia.
