Hawkinsville, Texas

Hawkinsville is an unincorporated community in Matagorda County, Texas, United States.

[1] In 2018, there were a few homes nearby, several businesses one mile (1.6 km) to the south, and the name appeared on maps, but one source refers to the place in the past tense, while a second source states that the town disappeared in the 1950s.

The town site is between Cedar Lane and Sargent.

[4] The town was named in honor of James Boyd Hawkins, a planter from North Carolina who established the Hawkins Ranch, a cotton and sugarcane plantation, later a cattle ranch, in Matagorda County.
