Weches

Weches is at the junction of Hwy 21 and Farm Road 3016, in the San Pedro Creek valley near the Neches River twenty-one miles northeast of Crockett in northeastern Houston County.

Weches prospered during the 1910s and 1920s, but in the early 1930s the population began to decline. In 1936 the town had 150 inhabitants and four businesses. After World War II many of the residents moved away, and by the early 1970s Weches had dwindled to a population of twenty-six and no businesses. In 1990 Weches still had twenty-six inhabitants and no businesses.

It uses the ZIP code of nearby Grapeland.
