Monticello is an unincorporated community in Titus County, Texas, United States.[1]
Monitcello is situated on Farm to Market Road 127. It is named for Lake Monticello, which is located southward. The town was settled in the 1850s, and a post office opened in 1857, with Cicero J. Corder serving as the first postmaster. By 1890, it had a population of 40, and had a brick factory, a school, two gins, two stores and two mills, one a steam mill operated by Theodore Stewig, which was the largest business. All but one store remained by 1896. The population remained consistent until 1974, when it was incorporated with a population of 174. As of 2000, the population was 20.[2]
