    Permanent settlement in this area began in the 1830s on land that was part of the Joseph Vehlein Colony. Located in a dense East Texas pine forest, the name of the community comes from a biblical reference to Tadmor in the Wilderness. A post office was established in 1885 and continued until 1914. A school was founded near this site in 1889. Most of the early settlers were farmers, although the timber industry had become a major employer by the end ot the 19th century. Members of the Tadmor Baptist Church have worshipped at this site since 1900.
