Whitton Community Center

Whitton Community Center Whitton Community Center, Canton, TX, USA Early Whitten residents farmed, then raised cattle. The population was estimated at twenty from 1939 to 1964.

Whitton (Whiton, Whitten), a rural community eight miles southwest of Canton in southwest Van Zandt County on Farm Road 1651, was named for Elijah Whitton, an early settler from Alabama who built a log house that was still standing at the site in the 1990s. Whitton deeded land for a school in 1886, and the Whiton, or Greenwood School as it came to be known, was consolidated with the Canton school

in 1949. The town had a sawmill, a grocery, a blacksmith shop, a cotton gin, and two churches at its height near the turn of the century, but mail was delivered from Canton. When farms were later broken into smaller tracts for more homes, the town's population increased. In 1978 the old school building was converted into a community center. State highway maps showed a single business, a school, and scattered dwellings at the townsite in 1936, but in 1987 only a church and several dwellings remained to mark the townsite

Whitton Community Game Night
Third Saturday of the month

Next game night is May 16, starting at 5 p.m.

Come by yourself or bring a partner; either way, come play! It's a great chance to see some familiar faces, meet new people, and play Texas' favorite domino game, 42! There is usually a table of Sequence and some chickenfoot domino players, as well.

If you'd rather play something else, bring your favorite game and join us for fun, food and fellowship!

Bring a potluck dish and your own drinks. There will be a donation jar set up, and all proceeds benefit the Whitton Community Center.

ATTENTION ALL who vote in Precinct 2:

The church on 198 where we had been voting had a new pastor and some difficulties and Clearview wanted to host that precinct. We are thankful to Clearview Bible Church on 47 and if you used to vote on 198 next to Hidalgos your new precinct home is Clearview Bible Church.
