INTRODUCTION
Official Texas Historical Markers are useful tools for promoting and preserving all aspects of Texas'
rich heritage. Since 1936, a variety of topics, including persons, events, institutions, buildings,
festivals, ethnic groups, churches, sites, and communities have been marked. Texas Historical Markers
serve as educational tools both for informing the public about Texas history and sparking interest in
preserving local history.
Historic Killeen, Texas, was founded when the tracks- of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad
were extended from Temple to Lampasas. Killeen grew up around the switching station and became
the town which was named for Frank P. Killeen, a senior official of the rail company. The first train
arrived on May 15, 1882, marking the beginning of the town.
As evident by the narratives on several Texas Historic Markers within the City, many early residents of
Killeen came from the nearby pioneer communities of Sugar Loaf and Palo Alto. Killeen's Post Office
was originally established at Palo Alto. This Post Office was changed to Killeen on August 4, 1882
when Edmund M. Spencer was appointed Post Master. Town lots were sold by the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe Railroad and one of the earliest structures built was a wooden community school which
opened in the fall of 1882. The town was incorporated in 1893 and W. E. Hudson was elected to serve
as the first Mayor. Killeen was primarily an agricultural center for the production of cotton, grain,
wool and cattle.
Killeen would be changed forever in 1942 with the building of Camp Hood, now Fort Hood. The
Federal Installation's growth as a major military post has had a dramatic impact on Killeen, making it
one of the fastest growing towns in Texas. Establishment of Camp Hood completely changed the
economic foundation of Killeen from a leading farming and ranching center, to an Army town. The
farming and ranching in the Killeen area gradually vanished in a few years; making the economy
dependent upon the Federal Government.
In 1942, Killeenites were still living in the mid 19th century; e.g., 1850. With the coming of Camp
Hood, Killeen grew so fast that the local history of Killeen was nearly buried for all times. This material
has been complied and published in order to share the many contributions that have led to the
placement of the Texas Historical Markers in the Killeen area. Enjoy HISTORIC KILLEEN, TEXAS.

OFFICIAL TEXAS HISTORICAL MARKERS GUIDELINES
Official Texas Historical Markers Guidelines and Application Form can be obtained from the Bell
County Historical Marker Chairman, Bell County Historical Commission.
There are two basic criteria that govern the approval of any topic for an Official Texas Historical:
o age and
o historical significance. A third criterion is architectural integrity. Determination has to be
made whether a proposed marker topic meets the age requirements.
o Historic persons must have been deceased for at least 20 years.
o event must have occurred at least 30 years ago.
o Historic structures must be at least 50 years of age, if being considered for the Recorded
Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL) designation.
o Institutions, organizations, festivals, cemeteries, communities, church con gregations, etc.,
must date back at least 75 years.
The State Marker Committee may waive the age requirements for topics of overwhelming state or
national importance; however, exceptions are rarely granted, and the burden of proof is on the
marker Applicant.
The second, and equally important, criterion is historical significance. To determine historical
significance, the following questions must be answered.
o Who was involved in the formation and development of the topic?
o What other events were taking place at the same time in the state or the region that may
have had a bearing on how or why the topic was important?
A third criterion is Architectural integrity being considered for Recorded Texas Historic Landmark
(RTHL). In no case can a structure be considered for the RTHL designation if it has been moved in the
past 50 years or if aluminum, asbestos, vinyl, etc., has been applied to its exterior. A combination of
items may prohibit the building from being designated a RTHL:
o Sandblasting.
o Removal of architectural features.
o Inappropriate signage.
o Major additions to the building that detract from the primary facade.
o Inappropriate roofing material.

Page 4
o Inappropriate windows or shutters.
o Inappropriate porch reconstruction.
o Unsympathetic replacement of mortar on brick or stone buildings.
o Unsympathetic removal of paint; inappropriate colors; painting of brick.
o Imitating an earlier style that was not part of the building's architectural history;
e.g.,adding gingerbread detailing when it never existed on the building.
The key element to the marker application, and the vehicle through which historical significance is
demonstrated and proven, is a narrative history. There are many different approaches to writing
history, good research is essential to a comprehensive narrative. Research provides the answers to
questions that should form the core of your narrative history:
o Who?
o What?
o When?
o Where? and
o How?
Not all Official Texas Historical Markers are alike. They may be divided into two categories;. subject
markers and Recorded Texas Historic Landmark markers.
Texas Historical Marker Policies must be followed.
Subject/Educational Markers come in two different sizes with or without post. The grave Marker is a
small medallion and 16" x 12" plate which includes mounting bar. A building Marker is made up with
Medallion and Plate which can be attached to a building or a post.
Subject Markers are solely educational in nature and conveys no legal restrictions to the property.
These markers should not be attached to buildings.
Markers conveying the Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL) designation are reserved solely for
historic structure deemed worthy of preservation for their architectural integrity and historical
associations. The RTHL designation does carry a measure of legal protection for the structure.

AVENUE D SCHOOL
CONSTRUCTED TO REPLACE AN EARLIER BRICK SCHOOL HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE, THE
PRESENT AVENUE D SCHOOL WAS BUILT IN 1923. C. J. LEINBACK OF DALLAS DESIGNED THE
THREE STORY BUILDING, WHICH FEATURES DECORATIVE STONEWORK AND SEPARATE
ENTRANCE FOR GIRLS AND BOYS. FUNDS FROM THE SALE OF ADVERTISING SPACE ON THE
AUDITORIUM CURTAINS WERE USED FOR INTERIOR FURNISHINGS. ALL GRADE LEVELS WERE
HOUSED HERE UNTIL THE 1940$ WHEN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL WERE
RELOCATED. RECORDED TEXAS HISTORIC LANDMARK - 1981
BETHEL PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
BETHEL PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH ORIGINATED IN THE PALO ALTO COMMUNITY, WHICH
WAS LOCATED ABOUT 3.5 MILES NORTHEAST OF PRESENT KILLEEN. ORGANIZED ABOUT 1864,
THE CONGREGATION MET IN A UNION CHURCH BUILDING SHARED WITH OTHER
DENOMINATIONS. WHEN THE GULF, COLORADO, AND SANTA FE RAILROAD WAS BUILT
THROUGH BELL COUNTY IN 1882, THE TOWN OF KILLEEN GREW UP ALONG THE RAIL LINE.
THE PALO ALTO POST OFFICE WAS DISCONTINUED, AND THE COMMUNITY DECLINED AFTER
MOST OF THE RESIDENTS MOVED TO KILLEEN. BY 1889 BETHEL PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
HAD RELOCATED TO THIS SITE. EXHIBITING DESIGN ELEMENTS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE LATE
19TH CENTURY, THIS STRUCTURE IS BELIEVED TO BE THE OLDEST CHURCH BUILDING IN
KILLEEN. ITS FEATURES INCLUDE A STEEP GABLE ROOF, DOUBLE-DOOR ENTRY WITH GOTHICINSPIRED WINDOW DETAILS, AND SIMPLE WINDOWS WITH PROTRUDING LINTELS. A PART OF
BELL COUNTY HISTORY FOR WELL OVER A CENTURY, BETHEL PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
CONTINUES TO SERVE A SMALL CONGREGATION. IT STANDS AS A REMINDER OF EARLY
SETTLEMENT AND RURAL VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE.

CITY OF KILLEEN
WHEN THE TRACKS OF THE GULF, COLORADO AND SANTA FE RAILROAD WERE EXTENDED
FROM TEMPLE TO LAMPASAS IN THE EARLY 1880s, A SWITCHING STATION WAS INSTALLED
NEAR THE MIDWAY POINT. THE SETTLEMENT THAT GREW UP AROUND THE SITE BECAME THE
TOWN OF KILLEEN, NAMED FOR FRANK P. KILLEEN, A NATIVE OF IRELAND AND A SENIOR
OFFICIAL OF THE RAIL COMPANY. THE FIRST TRAIN ARRIVED ON MAY 15, 1882, MARKING THE
BEGINNING OF THE TOWN. MANY EARLY RESIDENT'S OF KILLEEN CAME FROM THE NEARBY
PIONEER COMMUNITIES OF SUGAR LOAF (6 MILES N.) AND PALO ALTO (3.5 MILES N.E.).
TOWN LOTS WERE SOLD BY THE GC&SF RAILROAD AND ONE OF THEEARLIEST STRUCTURES
BUILT WAS A WOODEN COMMUNITY SCHOOL WHICH OPENED IN THE FALL OF 1882. BY THE
FOLLOWING YEAR KILLEEN WAS THE SITE OF TWO GRISTMILLS AND A COTTON GIN. THE
TOWN WAS INCORPORATED IN 1893 AND W. E. HUDSON WAS ELECTED TO SERVE AS THE
FIRST MAYOR. IN THE EARLY YEARS OF KILLEEN'S DEVELOPMENT, THE TOWN WAS PRIMARILY
AN AGRICULTURAL CENTER FOR THE PRODUCTION OF COTTON, GRAIN, WOOL AND CATTLE.

THE TOWN'S DRAMATIC GROWTH. ITS MERGER WITH JEWELERS BANK, A PRIVATE FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION, IN 1904 AND THE 1934 CONSOLIDATION WITH THE FIRST STATE BANK OF
