History

Mildred is located seven miles southeast of Corsicana on U.S. Highway 287 in south central Navarro County. The town was established as a stop on the Texas and Brazos Valley line in the late 1890s. A post office opened in the community in 1897. The town boomed briefly after oil was discovered in 1900 in the Powell-Mildred field, with its population growing to several hundred. However, by 1905 the boom had ended and the town began to decline, losing its post office in 1907. By the mid-1930s Mildred had half a dozen stores, a church, a school and a few houses. In 1936, the population was sixty-one. After World War II, many of the stores closed and by the mid-1960s, only a school, a church and a handful of houses remained. In the 1980s, Mildred's population began to grow once more and by 1990, the number of residents was reported at 173. By 2000, the population had more than doubled, to 405.
