In Polk County, Camden (also known as Walling's Ferry,) is located northwest of Beaumont between Lufkin and Livingston on Farm road 62 between US 59 and US 287 near Lake Livingston. It was among the earliest settlements in the county. The community grew up around a Sabine ferry crossing operated by John Walling, who moved to the area during the late 1820s or early 1830s. While still on the map, it is no longer reported by the US Census; Camden's ZIP code is for post office boxes only.Camden cemetery was still in use in the 1990s.
