NORTH CHAPEL, TEXAS. North Chapel, a farming community near Interstate Highway 20 two miles north of Kilgore in southwestern Gregg County, was probably established before 1900. In the mid-1930s the small community had a school, a church, a store, and a number of houses. After World War IIqv its school was closed, and many of its residents moved away. In the early 1990s only a few scattered dwellings remained in the area.
