James founded Earpville, which became Longview, TX
-------
Earpville was on a site that is now in the city limits of Longview in
Gregg County (The now intersection of East Hwy 80 &Old Jefferson or
Old Winterfield Rd.). It was founded by the James Earp family of
Alabama in the 1840s. It had a post office from 1850 to 1867. In 1848
James Earp and his son-in-law James Starkey bought 1,031 acres of the
Alexander Jordan headright ,bounded on the east by the Upshur-Harrison
county line and on the west by the Hamilton McNutt survey. Earp then
purchased several more adjoining tracts of land the next year and
built his home near the Marshall-Tyler road at the bottom of the
largest rock hill in the area. Longview's water towers are now at that
site. During the 1850s other members of the Earp clan joined James
Earp in Upshur County, and the settlement became Earpville. The
community was on the stagecoach line from Louisiana to San Antonio.
