Chester is a town in Tyler County, Texas, United States.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.6 square miles (4.1 km2), all land.

It was formed in 1883 when the Trinity and Sabine Railway, which connected Colmesneil in the east to Trinity in the west, routed its new line just a few miles south and west of the earlier community of Peach Tree Village.

The community moved the post office, Mount Hope Masonic Lodge, and several businesses to the area alongside the track.

The team, led by Coach Coleman Butter, qualified for the state baseball tournament.
