History

An unsuccessful oil-drilling operation occurred in the area in 1909. In the 1930s, the community had a few homes, two churches, and only one operating business. Then the 1982 county highway map showed a few scattered houses in Jarvis, while a church named Fields Chapel was located a half mile north of the area along U.S. Highway 84. The community has never been listed on county highway maps since 1985, but the church was still in operation. [2]

Geography

Jarvis stood along the Texas State Railroad at the junction of two county roads and just south of U.S. Highway 84, about 10 mi (16 km) east of Palestine in the southeastern portion of Anderson County. [2]
