Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Naples, TX

Naples is a city in Morris County in Northeast Texas, sitting on U.S. Highway 67 about twelve miles northeast of Daingerfield, the county seat.

Naples began in 1880 as a station on the Texas and St. Louis Railway, when the older town of Wheatville moved three miles south so it would not be bypassed by the railroad.

The town was first called Belden, then Station Belden, because postal officials feared its name would be confused with Belton, Texas.

In 1895 the name Naples was chosen from a list of names submitted by residents, and the town went on to incorporate in 1919.

Naples counted 1,387 residents at the 2020 census, living in 540 households.

Naples's population peaked at 1,908 in the 1980 census, after a minor oil-era boom in the late 1920s and a collapse during the Great Depression.

Naples has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.

Local students attend the Pewitt Consolidated Independent School District, formed in the 1950s when the Naples and Omaha school districts consolidated.

The City of Naples hosts an annual Watermelon Festival on the last weekend of July.

Early Naples was a hardwood lumber town, and when the forests were depleted its economy shifted back to cattle and agriculture.
