BOYNTON, TEXAS. Boynton was on the Texas and New Orleans
Railroad ten miles southeast of Huntington in southeastern
Angelina County. The settlement was founded in 1904 by the
Boynton Lumber Company, which built a sawmill at the site. The
mill had a daily capacity of 25,000 board feet and at its height
employed seventy-five men. The company closed the mill in 1908,
and within a short time the town was abandoned. In the early
1990s only a few scattered houses remained in the area. Angelina
