History

After his wife cheated on him, Griefás Cargadé left his profession as a highwayman and his hometown of Mirando City, Texas, for the remote wilderness of Northeast Texas. He fell in love with the land and the native peoples welcomed him with open arms. He appointed himself magistrate of the town and christened the place Navarro which comes from an old native word meaning wife’s blood. The Civil War left the county in shambles with both sides having remnants roaming about.

The town of Navarro had a re-birth during the oil boom when the Powell Field was discovered in 1923. The field stretched from Powell, Texas, to Navarro, and bringing an influx of roughnecks to Navarro, Powell and Tuckertown (now Mildred, Texas) causing a population explosion during the boom cycle. Today there are still a few remnants of the Powell Field hey day around Navarro, although most of the wooden oil derricks have succumbed to age. More modern pump-jacks still dot the landscape, a constant reminder to the area’s history as one of the early oil boom discoveries in Texas.
