TURNERSVILLE, TEXAS (Coryell County). Turnersville, is on Farm Road 182 twelve miles northeast of Gatesville in northeastern Coryell County. Both the Chisholm and Bosque trails wound through the area. The Lone Tree, one of the oldest landmarks in the county, still stands two miles east of the townsite.

In 1968 the school was closed and the students were divided between the Gatesville and Jonesboro School disticts. When the Turnersville schools were still open the school colors were purple & gold, and the mascot was a Buffalo. We are trying to bring the spirit of the community back with this iconic symbol.

It is because of this rich history that Turnersville invites you to join us for our Buffalo Stampede on Saturday, August 16, 2008. A day filled with Music, Food, activities for the children, Arts & Crafts vendors, and a Dance.

Admission to the day long event is Free to the public!
