Mabank is a town in Henderson and Kaufman counties in Texas, United States. Its population was at the 2020 census.
Prior to the existence of Mabank in early 1900, the community of Lawndale was formed in the late 1880s. The community was noted for its agriculture in many areas, including cotton. With the Texas Trunk Railroad missing the community by a mile, though, ranchers Mason and Eubank decided to capitalize on the Texas Trunk and set aside one square mile of land and named it "Mabank".[3]
Mabank is a combination of the names Eubank and Mason, and is located 1miles southwest of the former community of Lawndale. Being only a mile away from Lawndale and located on the railroad, its citizens, churches, and businesses naturally decided to move there, thus attracting, over a brief period of about two years, much of what was Lawndale. This included the Lawndale Courier—the local newspaper that renamed itself the Mabank Courier.
The population, although small, remained relatively stable until the completion of Cedar Creek Reservoir in 1965.[4] The town has since shown increases in population. Many of the descendants from the Masons and Eubanks still have connections to the town.
Mabank is located in the southeastern corner of Kaufman County. The town limits extend south into Henderson County. U.S. Route 175 runs through the northern side of the town, leading northwest to Kaufman and southeast to Athens. Downtown Dallas is northwest of Mabank.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 18.7km2, of which 0.1km2, or 0.45%, is covered by water.
