Troup at a glance

Troup is a city of 2,006 people (2020 census) in south-east Smith County, reaching south into Cherokee County. State Highway 110 runs through town, 19 miles north-west to Tyler, and State Highway 135 shares two blocks of Duval Street with it.

What that means for your plumbing

Troup has had houses since the 1870s, so its streets mix homes of many ages. Older houses may still have galvanized steel water pipes or cast iron drains, which rust from the inside. Low pressure or brown water are common signs; see repiping.

Renting in Troup

About 13% of Troup's housing units stood vacant in 2020. Empty homes are where small leaks turn into big ones. If you own a rental or a house between tenants, shut off the water at the main and keep the heat on low in winter.

A railroad town

Troup grew up as a railroad town when the International Railroad Company opened its Palestine–Troup line in 1872, and the town was platted the next year. It may have been named after a governor or a county in Georgia. Duval Street honors John Crittenden Duval, known as the "Father of Texas literature". Railroad-era downtowns often have older sewer connections running under streets and alleys. If more than one drain in your house backs up at once, the problem is usually in the main line, not the fixtures. See sewer and septic lines.
