The town of Longview itself was founded in the early 1870s, when the Southern Pacific Railroad (later the Texas and Pacific) extended its track from Marshall in Harrison County westward into Gregg County. The railroad bypassed Earpville and laid out a new town a mile to the west on land purchased from Ossamus Hitch Methvin, Sr.qv Railroad management called the new settlement Longview, reportedly because of the impressive view from Methvin's house, which was on what is now Center Street.
