Ebenezer, Camp County, Texas
Ebenezer is an unincorporated community in Camp County, Texas, United States. Ebenezer is located on Farm to Market Road 557 5 miles (8.0 km) southeast of Pittsburg. The community was founded in the 1850s by Israel Braden Rape, Robert Devenport, and Thomas DeLaney, three settlers from Georgia. Rape founded a church and school, the latter of which was called Rape's Academy and became the town's first school district. Ebenezer was primarily a farming community and has never had any businesses besides mills and cotton gins. In 1955, the town's schools closed, and Ebenezer became part of the Pittsburg Independent School District. Ebenezer's population was 55 in 2000.[2]
