East Texas Locals Say These Are The Stinkiest Towns In East Texas

Unfortunately, East Texas has a smelly side. We don't want to admit it and don't want to brag about it, but there are areas of the Piney Woods that a lot of locals just steer clear of because of the smell.

While East Texas is known for its tall pine trees swaying in the breeze, fragrant and vibrantly colored roses and Spring flowers, oil derricks pumping crude from the Earth, and huge cattle farms, some places are known for their odor.

Tourists from all over the world visit East Texas because of its beauty, simplicity, and friendly people. Aside from all the beauty East Texas has to offer, visitors may discover our stinky side.

We've come to appreciate those attributes but at the same time, we see the other side of things too and have noticed that certain parts of East Texas are stinky! We posed the question on our Facebook page asking, "What is the stinkiest town in East Texas?".

Of course, living next to a landfill or sewage treatment plant can be pretty stinky. I live in south Tyler and am constantly driving by the sewage treatment plant on Cumberland Rd. near Faulkner Park and it can get pretty stinky when I drive by it.
