Gordonville is an unincorporated community in northwestern Grayson County, Texas, United States.[2]
Gordonville is situated on Farm to Market Road 901, and sits on the shore of Lake Texoma. It was part of a sheep ranch until 1872. William Quantrill and his army often visited Gordonville during the American Civil War, and Quantrill named the town after his treasurer, Silas M. Gordon.[3]
