History

Randolph was located on the Old Kennard-Crockett Road (now near at the intersection of Texas State Highway 21 and FM 1733) approximately 12 miles from Crockett and 3 miles (4.8 km) Kennard. It was founded in 1838 by Cyrus Halbert Randolph. By 1860, it had a school, a post office, a saloon, a blacksmith, a barber shop, and a Masonic lodge. During that time, it rivaled Crockett for the county seat, but declined after the Civil War. It was completely abandoned by 1900. Today, only a cemetery remains.[2]
