In reply to AsburyAg
To further confuse things, Athens is the county seat of Henderson County.
Both Henderson and Athens have money in them.
I've posted this before so won't belabor it, but three little boys grew up contemporaries in Athens who each, in natural resource-related fields, attained world-class wealth: Sid Richardson, Clint Murchison and Wofford Cain (remember Cain Hall?).

Reminds me of the time many years ago when I was a freshman and hanging out in a friend's dorm room. Another friend of hers stops by. In the conversation my friend says, "AsburyAg, you're from somewhere in East Texas, aren't you? My other friend here is, too."
Me: O really? Where are you from?
Her: Athens. You?
Me: Henderson.
Her (irritatingly): Oh.
Me: Why do you say it like that?
Her: Henderson. That's where all the rich snobs live.
Me (Not that I felt this way, but for once in my life, I was equipped with a good comeback): That's all right honey. We figure the only thing that lives in Athens is poor white trash anyway.
Needless to say, our conversation pretty much ended after that.
