Moving In and Around Tool
Tool is on State Highway 274 on the west side of Cedar Creek Reservoir, twenty-three miles northwest of Athens in northwestern Henderson County. Local tradition says the town was once called Hog Fork before it was renamed for George Tool, who opened the first store there in 1905. If your Tool home is on a narrow road near the reservoir, say so when you request your quote and we will plan the truck and crew around it. We also handle moves in Seven Points, also on SH 274, and Payne Springs.
Lake Communities and New-Resident Basics in Tool
Tool grew quickly thanks to its closeness to Cedar Creek Reservoir, and many homes sit in lake communities with their own homeowner or property owner associations, including Cedar Crest Shores, Paradise Bay, Westwood Beach, Lakeway Estates, Heatherwood and Isle of View. If your new home is in one of them, check the association rules on moving trucks and move-in times before you book. History is close by too: Andrew Durham Avant built the Durham Avant House on a small farm here in 1899, and a state marker for Texas Ranger Durham Avant stands at Tool Cemetery off SH 274.
When you move in, water accounts are set up through the West Cedar Creek MUD, all garbage and bulk pickup goes through Republic Services under the city franchise, and electric service comes from Oncor or TVEC. Students attend Mabank ISD or Malakoff ISD, which runs Tool Elementary. City Hall is at 701 N. Tool Drive; the city utilities page has the contacts.
