The community was first settled by Alexander Thomson, Jr., an early Texas patriot and partner of the colonizer Sterling C. Robertson. When the railroad came through in 1880, the settlers moved to the tracks. In 1884, the town was renamed for Capt. H.C. Chriesman, a surveyor for Stephen F. Austin. It now serves the surrounding ranches.
