Historical Marker

banner historical marker

The Official Texas Historical Marker program helps bring attention to community treasures and the importance of their preservation, to help guarantee the preservation of our state’s history.

A subject qualifies for a marker if two basic criteria are met:

  • age
  • historical significance.

Historical significance is established by reviewing the proposed designee's role and importance in local history. The age requirement depends on the topic.
