FOREST HILL, TEXAS (Upshur County). Forest Hill, a farming community on the old Cherokee Trace just south of Farm Road 2088 and six miles northwest of Gilmer in northern Upshur County, was probably established before 1900. A school began operating there around 1900 and was later consolidated with that of Union Hill. By the mid-1930s Forest Hill was no longer shown on county highway maps.
