A Look Back at Allenville's History
Allenville got its name from Tom Allen. He was the person who built the Belmont Branch Railroad. The village was officially planned out, or platted, in 1869. This happened when the railroad line was extended to reach that spot.
The community was also a stop on the old Lone Star Trail. This was a path where cattle were herded all the way from Texas to the Allenville railroad station. From there, the cattle could be transported further by train. A post office opened in Allenville in 1869 and served the community until 1974.
