TAGHS Hears History of The King Nursery
July 20, 2024 - No one living in Shelby County, or anywhere else for that matter, can remember when King's Nursery wasn't in business in Tenaha. Established in 1915 by J.B. King Sr. as a strawberry farm, the plant nursery has been in continuous operation by the King family ever since. “Some people think all East Texas soil is red clay. West of here in Nacogdoches County certainly is and I have had an interesting experience working with red clay for the past year at the SFA Gardens and the SRC, but here in Shelby County we have sugar sand and that is perfect for growing strawberries. My great-grandfather J.B King Sr. started growing strawberries in Tenaha in 1915 and shipping them by train to Shreveport for sale. However, his success caused a number of other strawberry farms to spring up around Tenaha and his profits declined. He decided growing and selling fruit trees offered a better chance of success and that's what we have been doing ever since,” began Dr. Andrew King.
