Stoneham, Texas

Stoneham is an unincorporated community in Grimes County, Texas, United States.

In the 1840s, a Methodist meeting house was constructed and later, after the American Civil War, a Baptist church was built.

[2] Later, farm families in the vicinity of Hurricane Creek began migrating onto a projected line of the Central and Montgomery Railway in 1879.

In that same year, John H. Stoneham gave land for a railroad commission and the town was named "Stonehamville" after him in his honor.

[3] In 1932, however, the population dropped by about fifty residents after the town's business district was destroyed in a fire.
