First settled in 1836, few Texas towns can rival the rich history of Bonham. To give you an idea of the vital role churches have played in the heritage of this city, on Sunday, October 27, 2019, three historic churches held special events. One of those churches was founded in 1871 and another church was founded a year later in 1872. And the oldest of the three churches dates its modest beginning back to 1844 and a log cabin one block east of the Bonham Square.
