Longview, Texas

Most of Longview is located in Gregg County, in East Texas, and a little portion of it extends into Harrison County. Longview is the 45th largest city in the state of Texas and is the seat of Gregg County. With a population close to 82,000, it is the principal city of the Longview metropolitan statistical area. This area is made up of three counties namely Gregg, Upshur, and Rusk.

Longview is one of the major hubs in the region and was ranked as one of the fastest growing small cities in the U.S at number six by Forbes Magazine in 2014.

History

The city of Longview was founded by Ossamus Hitch Methvin, Sr. in the 1870s.  He sold 100 acres of land to the Southern Pacific Railroad for $1 to coax them into building their line in the direction of land he owned. Longview thus became a railroad route into East Texas. Before the year was over, Methvin sold yet another 100 acres of his land, this time for $500 in gold with the hope that the railroad would increase the value of the rest of his land.

Methvin is also credited with giving the town its name when he exclaimed, “What a long view!” from his home. Longview was incorporated as the first town in Gregg County in June 1871.

Mobberly Hotel opened its doors in 1884 targeting the railroad travelers and soon became the center for social gatherings in the town. It was located near the train depot in the junction part of Longview. Unfortunately, the hotel was brought down by a fire on June 13, 1965.

Construction on the Big Inch pipeline in Longview began In 1942. Over 261,000,000 barrels of crude oil were transported to the East Coast from 1943 to 1945. Big Inch and Little Inch (you read that right), a smaller pipeline constituted the longest pipeline ever build on earth. They both contributed significantly to the United States war effort in World War II.

After the second world war, Longview experienced a population growth spurt going from 24,502 to 40,050 in 1960. The growth was as a result of migration from Rural Gregg County and the add-ons of Spring Hill and Greggton.
