Rich History, Beautiful Setting

Rich in history, it is reported that Lake Bob Sandlin and the surrounding areas were native to the prehistoric Caddoan people, who occupied East Texas from 200 B.C. to 1700 A.D. The area was then home to the Kickapoo, Choctaw and Cherokee tribes.

Since then, the fertile lands neighboring the lake have been used for ranching and farming.
