The park, located 22 miles northeast of Crockett in Houston County, was built in 1935 and acquired from the Texas Forest Service in 1957. It was built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as a commemorative representation of Mission San Francisco de los Tejas, the first Spanish mission in the province of Texas, which was established in 1690.
