Celeste is a Hunt County city whose origins are closely tied to railroad development. It is also connected to Audie Murphy’s childhood and schooling, with that history recognized by a Texas historical marker. Local school and city resources provide further context without relying on the town’s size as a measure of its character.

### Places to know

**Audie Murphy historical marker.** A state marker documents Murphy’s connection to Celeste.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Confirm the school district and service address directly; a historic community description is not a current attendance-boundary guide.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
