Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Bullard, TX

Bullard straddles the line between Smith and Cherokee counties in East Texas, about twelve miles south of Tyler on U.S. Highway 69.

Bullard was earlier known as Etna and Hewsville; in 1881 John H. Bullard opened the Hewsville post office in his general store, and in 1883 the office was renamed Bullard for John and his wife, Emma Eugenia (Erwin) Bullard.

Bullard's railroad station was completed in August 1884, and the community became a shipping point for cotton, vegetables, and fruit.

Bullard did not organize a city government until 1948, when it elected a city council and its first mayor, Jap Jones, and funded a water system that used spring water — one of the few such systems in Texas at the time.

Bullard still had only 450 residents after World War II and about 300 in the mid-1960s, but growth spilling south from Tyler pushed its population to 2,463 in 2010 and 3,318 at the 2020 census.

Bullard is home to The Brook Hill School, a Christian day and boarding school founded in 1997 on a campus of roughly 280 acres, whose boarding students have come from more than 15 countries.

On the Brook Hill campus sits the American Freedom Museum, which opened in 2010 and displays more than 650 artifacts in 15,000 square feet of galleries tracing American military history from the Revolution to Iraq and Afghanistan.

The American Freedom Museum's Hall of Presidents holds a signed document from every U.S. president, from George Washington through the current president.

In 2015 the American Freedom Museum became the first museum in Texas — and possibly the nation — recognized as a "Purple Heart Museum" by the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

Public-school students in Bullard attend the schools of the Bullard Independent School District.
