Rusk County, Texas
Rusk County, seated at Henderson, sits atop the East Texas Oilfield, one of the largest oil discoveries in U.S. history, and pumpjacks and oilfield service yards still dot the landscape alongside working timberland. Poultry production and cattle ranching round out the rural economy in the Piney Woods, with Kilgore's oil museum and derrick-lined streets marking the county's boomtown history. Land here trades on a mix of mineral rights, timber value and rural residential demand rather than urban growth.
