Floyd is an unincorporated community in Hunt County, Texas, United States.

That same year, a post office was opened but the locals balked at their town being named for a stranger.

The reason was lost but it is thought that it was done to honor a dispatch rider of the Texas Revolutionary Army.

Development of modern roads favored the county seat of Greenville and Floyd suffered as a result.

In the early 1950s, the population had dipped to a mere 70 residents, but by the mid 1970s it had increased to 220 – the same figure given for the 2000 census.
