Navasota History
Navasota, initially known as Hollandale, was named after Francis Holland who purchased land in the area in 1822. James Nolan set up a few tents in 1848, and built a log cabin in 1852. The log cabin later became a stage stop. It was located where the Navasota River and La Bahia Road crossed. Four stage line stops were set up by the mid 1850s, and a post office was established in 1854, the same year that the name of the settlement was changed to Navasota. It was named after the river which flowed through the area. Navasota became an important marketing and shipping center after the Houston and Texas Central Railway was built through the town.
