Area Information Wolfe City is at the intersection of State highways 34 and 11, seventeen miles north of Greenville in north central Hunt County. History: It was settled in the late 1860s or early 1870s, when Lemuel Pinckney Wolfe built a mill near the banks of Oyster Creek. For a brief time area farmers called the community Wolfe's Mill. By 1882, the year it received a post office, the name had become Wolfe City. In 1887 Wolfe City incorporated, and the tracks of the Santa Fe Railroad reached the community, establishing it as an important shipping point for area farmers. In the early 1880s.
