miles east of Bonham, containing several stores, a Male and Female School,and 
a population of several hundred. David Crocket, who was on his way to Western 
Texas at the head of a company of troops, encamped for a time at the place 
where the village is now located, and discovered seven bee tress in the grove 
and gave it the name of “Honey Grove” The stream called “Honey Creek” has its 
source in this grove, and took its name from the same circumstance.  The 
Methodist church in the vicinity is about one hundred strong.
