BLUE SKY COUNTRYREAL ESTATE
Dawson and Hubbard ISD
Southwest Navarro County into southeastern Hill County — Navarro Mills Lake on one side and two Cotton Belt towns on the other.
The ground
Two counties, one market. The MLS files Dawson under Navarro and Hubbard under Hill, and buyers looking at this ground pay no attention to that at all.
Dawson is twenty-one miles southwest of Corsicana, right at the Hill County line, with Navarro Mills Lake — the Corps of Engineers’ 5,070 acres, filled in 1963 — beside it. Hubbard is twenty-three miles southeast of Hillsboro on State Highways 171 and 31. They are neighbors across a county line, not two separate places.
Britton Dawson, who fought at San Jacinto, settled his town in 1847, and the narrow-gauge line to Waco arrived in 1881. Hubbard was organized in 1881 when the Cotton Belt put a depot there, and took its name from Governor Richard B. Hubbard. Hot mineral water struck in an 1895 well turned Hubbard into a health resort for a generation.
Dawson is Navarro County and Hubbard is Hill. Two appraisal districts, two commissioners courts, two tax rolls — and one buyer pool that does not care. Both districts are on this page for that reason.

Worth knowing
Navarro Mills changes what a tract near it is worth and who is asking about it. Price it off open pasture a few miles away and you will be wrong in one direction or the other.

It gets lighter and drains faster than the clay further north. That helps some plans and hurts others, and it is worth knowing which side of the change a tract is on before you plan a pond.
