Joinerville. Born from the East Texas oil boom, this community still tells its story through places like the Gaston fields and the intimate Gaston Museum, where exhibits and a restored 1940s schoolhouse capture the people and rigs that altered the region’s future. Set in Rusk County, residents enjoy easy access to small-city conveniences in Henderson, energy heritage in Kilgore, and shopping and healthcare hubs in Tyler and Longview. For a deeper dive into black-gold history, the hands-on galleries at the East Texas Oil Museum are a short drive away.
Families are served by the West Rusk County Consolidated ISD, with campuses known for tight-knit classrooms, Friday night lights, and community pride. Weekends often revolve around the outdoors: cast a line, paddle quiet coves, or hike pine-shaded trails at Martin Creek Lake State Park and cool off or mountain bike the loops at Tyler State Park.
Daily life stays refreshingly straightforward, with farm-to-market roads leading to groceries, local eateries, and seasonal festivals in neighboring towns. Continuing education and workforce training are close by at Kilgore College, while bachelor’s and graduate programs at The University of Texas at Tyler broaden options. County services and records are efficiently managed through the Rusk County government.
