COLLEGE HILL, TEXAS. College Hill, seven miles south of DeKalb in
southwestern Bowie County, was established in the early 1890s by W. H. Patty,
who operated a gin and sawmill. A post office was granted in 1902 but
discontinued in 1907. The population of College Hill reached 100 in 1915. In
1938 the school was consolidated with those in eight other communities to
form the James Bowie Consolidated District. The building was located in
Simms. College Hill had a store and a population of thirty in 1945. In 1984
it had a church, a cemetery, a business, and a few scattered houses. In 1990
the population was 116.
