Welcome to Jonesboro
A Small Community With Deep Roots on the Leon River
Jonesboro is a small, unincorporated community in Coryell and Hamilton counties, located at the junction of State Highway 36 and FM 1602—about 19 miles northwest of Gatesville and 13 miles southeast of Hamilton.
Its story began after the Civil War, when William and David Jones built a sawmill and gristmill on the Leon River. The settlement was first known as Jones Mill before taking the name Jonesboro in 1877.
