Historical Marker |
Pioneer settlers began arriving in this area in the late 1830s. By the late 1850s a rural community known as Trinity Chapel had built up. Thomas Jefferson Fox and his family established a farm here in the late 1880s. When a post office was opened in 1901 the community was named Reynard (French for fox). At its peak Reynard boasted two general stores, a church, school, cotton gin, sawmill, and numerous scattered farms. Although the community declined by the 1940s, descendants of pioneer Reynard families still live in Houston County.
