Nash, Texas

Nash is a city in Bowie County, Texas, United States, and a suburb of Texarkana.

The State of Texas patented the land which makes up the eastern portion of Nash to William Crutcher on December 19, 1849.

The west portion of Nash was patented to Josiah W. Fort, assignee of Thomas Price on December 18, 1951.

The official origin date of the town is unknown, but records indicate Nash began sometime between 1873 and the late 1880s.

[7] In 1884, the town was renamed "Park", after Dr. John N. Parker, who received a grant for a post office.

Dr. Parker changed the name of the town to "Park" because the government would not accept such a long name as Trans-Continental Junction; therefore, he used his own name dropping the "er".

[8] The first school started in 1885, in a single room by Dr. K. M. Kelley, located on the corner of Dodd and Elm streets.

By the publication of the 2020 U.S. census, its population increased to 3,814; racially, non-Hispanic whites and African Americans remained the predominant demographic groups in the city.

In 2020, the American Community Survey's estimates program determined the median household income was $37,750.
