Montgomery Texas began as a small Trading Post in 1826 and is known as one of the oldest towns in Texas. Once the town was chartered in 1837 we became the County Seat of Montgomery County. We are located off Texas 105 and 149. We border the Texas National Forest and the Piney Woods.
Charles Bellinger Stewart was our first Postmaster and became the first Secretary of State for Texas.
His main innovational idea certainly caught hold and has made a long time imprint on our great State of Texas!
The Lonestar Flag!
Dr. Stewart drew the flag on a piece of paper and it was originally black and white. He showed the colors by writing red, white and blue and designating the sections of the flag for the color.
Dr. Stewart presented this to his committee after being appointed by the Texas State President, Mirabeau B. Lamar and the committee approved his design!
Thank you Dr. Stewart for your amazing contribution to our great state! Montgomery Texas flies the Lone Star Flag proudly.
