A small community near I-20 and UT Health Hospital
The community of Owentown is a primarily industrial unincorporated area about 10 miles from downtown Tyler, close to UT Health Hospital and Interstate 20. The area started as a switch on the St. Louis Southwestern Railway in 1877 and was later home to Camp Fannin, a World War II Army training center that instructed an estimated 200,000 soldiers and even housed a German prisoner of war facility. By 1948, the base had been closed and much of its land was sold to the Owen Development Company, giving the neighborhood its name. While it’s not a bustling community today, Owentown has the promise of becoming more active with the addition of the Tyler Interstate Commerce Park, a 400-acre industrial park set to be built near I-20.
Owentown is located in a rural area of Smith County.
UT Health is the closest hospital, located right outside the Owentown neighborhood.
