Larissa Texas once thrived as Athens of the state
Lore recalls Larissa in northern Cherokee County once called the Athens of Texas. It was home to Larissa College, precursor to Trinity University, with a strong science program and a notable telescope. After the Civil War, Presbyterian control shifted and the town faded. A railroad through Jacksonville hastened its decline. Now only descendants of former slaves remain and a stone monument marks the college site. Rodeo week in Center, Shelby County, brings Clint Harlow and his sheep dog act with monkeys Poncho and Jane.
