Kerr's Inc.

Kerr's Inc., regarded as the oldest Angelina County business in continuous operation, began in 1870 as a general store in Homer, the early county seat. It was founded by Civil War veteran Capt. Joseph Kerr, born in 1828 and a native of South Carolina. The business was moved to Lufkin in the 1880s, soon after the railroad town was founded. Kerr, an active business, civic, and political leader, was later succeeded in the firm by his sons. Started in the county's early days and later operated as a tin shop, the company is now a leader in steel fabrication.
