About Cooks Point
Cooks Point was founded around 1840 where an old colonial road crossed the San Antonio Road in Texas. Settler Gabriel Jackson operated a two-story log cabin trading post at the site. The community took its name from Silas L. Cooke, who surveyed much of the surrounding land, and grew into a rural farming settlement.
