Macedonia, Liberty County, Texas

Macedonia is an unincorporated area in northern Liberty County, Texas, United States.

[1] Formerly a distinct community, it is located 5 miles (8.0 km) northeast of the junction of Texas State Highway 321 and Farm to Market Road 1008 and 16 miles (26 km) northwest of Liberty.

[2] In 1914, a syndicate in Chicago, Illinois purchased 12,000 acres (4,900 ha) of land near the Beaumont, Sour Lake and Western Railway to form a community of Greek people that was intended to supply truck crops to supply the Galveston and Houston markets.

The syndicate named the community "Macedonia," after a Baptist church in the area that had been established in 1845.

Some Greek emigres worked at the local sawmills; the community did not organize in a manner that the founders had intended.
