The community of Britton, Texas is split between Tarrant and Ellis
Counties in Texas. The town was situated on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad.
State Highway 34 went through Britton until the new Highway 287 was constructed
about 4 miles west of town in the 1940s.
F. S. Windle built the first and only elevator, encouraging farmers to
grow small grain crops. George Magee donated land for a cemetery as well
as the Methodist Church. G. W. Maynard donated land for the Baptist Church
and built the first store. Garrett Maynard was the first postmaster in
1895.
Britton Cemetery is located in Britton, Texas, on the Ellis County side
of town. First marked grave Nellie Windle (1892 - 1896).
