Chriesman (/ˈkrɪsmən/ KRISS-mən) is an unincorporated community in Burleson County, Texas, United States.
The community was named in honor of Horatio Chriesman (1797–1878), a surveyor and early settler from Virginia who moved to Texas as a member of the Old Three Hundred.
It became a stop on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway after a track was built in 1880 and went by Yellow Prairie until the early 20th century.
Ten years later, Chriesman had telephone service, a bank, four general stores, a cotton gin, and 175 residents.
[4] Chriesman is located just west of Texas State Highway 36 on the BNSF Railway, 7 mi (11 km) northwest of Caldwell in northwestern Burleson County.
