Located in west central Hill County, the area was originally settled by Indians; Anglo-American traders and soldiers referred to the settlement as Towash Village, for the name of the Indians' leader, and later Anglo settlers kept the name. In 1951 the site was inundated as a result of the construction of Lake Whitney.
