Geography and character

Daisetta sits in the coastal plain and piney-woods region of southeastern Texas.

The town grew as part of the wave of settlement and economic development that shaped much of East Texas in the 20th century. Local growth has been linked to agriculture, timber and energy industries that attracted workers and supported small businesses. Over time Daisetta evolved into a residential center serving families who work locally or commute to larger nearby towns.
