Tatum is not your ordinary small town with the daily hustle and bustle. We are a simple wholesome community with a down- home way of life. Tatum is known for our excellent 3A Public Schools, the Tatum EAGLE’S football team, Martin Creek Lake State Park, the interesting history that started Tatum, and the sea of tranquil tall pines and oak trees that grow along the red clay hills of East Texas.
So, welcome home to a comfortable county lifestyle that is conveniently located to big city amenities and nearby recreational opportunities. Tatum has a great sense of pride for our community. The opportunities for growing families, new businesses, and economic growth are abundant. If you are passing through or looking to relocate, we hope that you will make Tatum your next Hometown Stop!
