Weeping Mary is an unincorporated community in Cherokee County, Texas, United States.

[2] Weeping Mary was founded by recently freed slaves shortly after the Civil War.

Demographic changes took place after a boll weevil infestation destroyed the cotton crops, and mechanization reduced the need for farm labor.

On April 13, 2019, an EF-3 tornado struck the community, destroying several homes and the Caddo Mounds museum, killing two people and injuring 20 others.

In another version, the town was named for a former slave who cried after losing her land, as the government had promised it would not be taken away.
