Mabank, Texas is situated on U.S. Parkway 175, close to the crossing point of Farm Road 90, FM 198, and U.S. Roadway 175, sixteen miles southeast of Kaufman, Texas, far in the southeast corner of Kaufman County, Texas. The Mabank, Texas region was first settled by Lorenzo D. Stover in 1846. Different pilgrims before long moved to the Mabank region, and the area was first obtained in 1887 by John R. Jones who was a dealer from Goshen- - which is in Henderson County, Texas. John R. Jones initially named (the Mabank territory) "Yard City", after a well known cotton dress material that he sold in his store. The "Yard City" name was then changed to "Lawndale", doubtlessly when the primary mail station went to the region in November of 1887. In 1900, the Southern Pacific Railroad went around "Lawndale" and avoided it by not exactly a mile. G.W. Artisan and Thomas Eubank, proprietors of the Mason-Eubank Ranch, understood the potential that the railroad spoke to - they immediately put aside a one-square-mile tract that they called Mabank. The name is a blend of the name Mason and name Eubank. They officially platted the one-mile-square zone on February 23, 1900. A mail station was added to Mabank in 1900, that year. Due to the close by railroad- - and particularly the richness of the dirt, Mabank, Texas became rapidly. A ton of "Lawndale" occupants and organizations, irritated that the Southern Pacific Railroad had skirted the town, moved to the new network called "Mabank". In August of 1900, Mabank's organizers built up the "Mabank Land Company" to sell land in the region. A rescue vehicle administration worked in the network around 1900- - and before long the Eubank memorial service home opened in 1904. In 1910, Mabank, Texas had an all out populace of 412.
