Historical Note
Peniel, Texas, was located north of Greenville, Texas, in Hunt County. The town developed around a small college, known first as Texas Holiness Universtity but later named Peniel College, founded in 1899. The first post office opened in 1901 and in 1902 the name officially became Peniel. Peniel College moved to Bethany, Oklahoma, in 1920 and would eventually become Southern Nazarene University. The relocation of the college coupled with the Great Depression caused Peniel's population to dwindle. The town was incorporated in 1930 but in 1957, with a population of 157, the citizens voted to be annexed to Greenville.
