“Wheatville was indeed the true beginning of present-day Naples, Texas. It received its name from the William Wheat family sometime before 1852. William Wheat received a Land Grant for 20 labors of land by the Board of Land Commissioners for Red River County on the 27th. of April, 1838. By using the classification of land grants and references to the location of homes, it is felt that William Wheat was living in the Morris County area as early as 1836. Wheatvillewas located west of the Daingerfield and Stephenson’s Ferry Road and south of the old “Clarksville Road”. It would have been about three miles northwest of Naples, and at that time situated in Titus County, Texas. Later, in 1875, when Morris County was created from Titus County, Wheatville could claim Morris County as its final location. The little town was also described as being on a road that led from Fulton, Arkansas to Sulphur Springs and that it began to develop and grow sometime in the 1840’s. Mr. B.R. Watts, one of the early citizens of Wheatville, in his later years wrote of the beginning of the town as he remembered it:
Put on your hiking shoes and head to Daingerfield State Park each Saturday to participate in a ranger-led hike.Park officials are inviting the public every Saturday in January to meet at the trailhead at 1 p.m. for the ranger-led hike through the park’s enchanted “Cathedral of Trees.” Hikers are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes and bring a water bottle for the hike.
