History[]
Boston is situated south of the old Texas & Pacific Railroad line, located 22 miles west of Texarkana. It is considered to be the geographic center of Bowie County. When citizens wanted a post office, it applied under the name Center, but that name was already taken. Hood and Glass were also nominated, but rejected for the same reason. In the 1980s, the courthouse was built in New Boston, but Boston remained the county seat. The population was 200 as of 2000.[1]
