Marker Text: ​Dubina, which derives its name from the Czech word for oak grove. Was founded in 1856 by a group of Moravian immigrants, including the Marak, Kahlich, Sramek, Peter, Holub, Muzny, and Haidusek families. By 1900 the farming community had erected a church building, mill, cotton gin, blacksmith shop, store, and post office. A 1909 storm and a 1912 fire caused extensive damage from which the town never recovered as the first settlement in Texas to be founded entirely by Czech-Moravians. Dubina remains an important part of the state's regional and cultural history. (1983)
