About George Coleman

George Coleman was mostly Cherokee or Chocktaw and part African-American.

According to Ellis County records, George Coleman purchased "one-quarter acre, more or less" of land north of town on Palmer Road, October 15, 1894. On this little piece of land backing up to Mustang Creek, he built a small frame house for his family. The area was a community within Waxahachie where blacks established their own religious, commercial and social institutions.
