History
Wild Cat Bluff was located where Wildcat Creek enters the Trinity River, and served as a ferry crossing and a shipping point for area farmers. Wild Cat Bluff thrived while the river served as a main form of transportation, but declined after the arrival of the railroads to the county in 1870. Some of the residents moved to the new community developing to the east.[1]
