Purdon, From Belle Point to Navarro Mills Lake
Purdon was first known as Belle Point, little more than a school and a church that early settler Capt. J. A. Harrison helped build. A post office was set up in 1881, a year before the railroad arrived and town lots were laid out. The town was meant to be named for Miss Ada Purdom, but a spelling mistake made it Purdon.
The first school in town met in an old seed house that also served as a church, and by 1914 Purdon had a brick schoolhouse, several stores, a lumberyard, two gins and a bank. Today the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers runs its Navarro Mills Lake office from a Purdon address on FM 667. The lake helps control floods and supplies water to Corsicana and nearby towns, and Wolf Creek Park is about three miles north of SH 31 on FM 667.
