Cameron Texas

My free write will be about my hometown Cameron Texas. Cameron was established in 1846, the city is named after captain Ewen Cameron. It is located in Milam County and it is the country seat located on the Little River in North Central Milam County. Cameron has a population of about 5,770 people, it is about 45 miles from College Station. It is between Temple Texas and Rockdale Texas, Cameron is a small town with not much to go. If you want to go to the movies, shopping or even bowling the closest places to go is Temple or College Station. Cameron is very peaceful and friendly, its a great place to live at the community of Cameron is great, they raise money through out the year to give a every student that attends Cameron Isd a scholarship of $550. The Cameron Public school system was established in 1890, Cameron has a 4 with a total of about 1,680 students at every school. We are a small school I graduated with 86 our students. Cameron Yoe High School was named after a family named Yoe who gave land and money to build a school for the city of Cameron because they loved Cameron. The husbands was named Charles Yoe and that's why the school is names C.H Yoe. Beginning in 1921 the second Tuesday of May every school of Cameron takes off to honor the Yoe and people meet up at the cemetery, in there will they wanted a day for them. Cameron Schools are great and have great teachers.
