Hammond is an unincorporated community in Robertson County, Texas, United States. Hammond is located on Texas State Highway 6, north of Calvert and south of Bremond.
Hammond was originally the site of two plantations purchased by Dr. B.F. Hammond in 1853. After the Civil War, Hammond became a small community which primarily served former slaves from the plantation. In 1869, the Houston and Texas Central Railway built a station in Hammond. Hammond had a post office from 1870 until the 1930s. The population from 1970 to 2000 was estimated as 44.[1]
