Hawkinsville is an unincorporated community in Matagorda County, Texas, United States.
In 2018, there were a few homes nearby, several businesses 1miles to the south, and the name appeared on maps, but one source refers to the place in the past tense, while a second source states that the town disappeared in the 1950s. The town site is between Cedar Lane and Sargent.
Hawkinsville is located in southeast Matagorda County, 17miles southeast of Van Vleck. The historic site of Hawkinsville is on FM 457 1miles north of its intersection with FM 2611. A bend of Caney Creek comes near FM 457 at the location. A single home can be seen near the historic location.[1]
The town was named in honor of James Boyd Hawkins, a planter from North Carolina who established the Hawkins Ranch, a cotton and sugarcane plantation, later a cattle ranch, in Matagorda County.
Van Vleck Independent School District operates schools in the area.
The designated community college for Van Vleck ISD is Wharton County Junior College.[2]
