Site of Neches Indian Village
Here at the opening of the 18th century stood a village of the Neches Indians. Their name was given to the river and later to a mission, San Francisco De Los Neches, established near by. With the Cherokees, the Neches Indians were expelled from Texas in 1839.
Marker is on State Highway 21, on the right when traveling east.
