Homer is an unincorporated community in Angelina County, Texas, United States, southeast of Lufkin, in Deep East Texas. It was reported to have a population of approximately 360 in the early 1990s through 2000. It is located within the Lufkin, Texas micropolitan area.
Today, Homer is so small that the residents have Lufkin mailing addresses. Also, the majority of the residents consider themselves Lufkin residents, rather than Homer ones.
Homer is located along U.S. Highway 69, 6miles southeast of Lufkin on a main thoroughfare to Sam Rayburn Reservoir.[1]
Homer had two schools in 1884.[1] Students study in the Lufkin Independent School District.
