Kerens is a Navarro County city east of Corsicana at the State Highway 31 and 309 area. Its formation followed railway construction in 1881, and later highway changes reshaped the town’s development. A state historical marker records that transportation and agricultural history.

### Places to know

**Kerens historical marker.** A state marker describes the town’s railway origins and later development.

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

- Compare older plats and street descriptions with current parcel maps, and check the actual access to Highway 31 rather than estimating travel from a city label.
- 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).
