Nestled in the Piney Woods of East Texas, Angelina County spans roughly 865 square miles of rolling pine–hardwood forests, fertile farmland, and winding creeks. The county seat of Lufkin blends historic downtown charm with a thriving paper-mill economy, while neighboring towns like Diboll, Huntington, and Central offer small-town hospitality just a two-hour drive from Houston.
Historically driven by timber and pulp production, today’s Angelina County economy also embraces manufacturing, retail, and agriculture. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Sam Rayburn Reservoir—the largest lake entirely within Texas—for world-class bass fishing, boating, and waterfowl hunting.
