The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Founded in 1881 or 1882, Addis was originally known Baton Rouge Junction; the community was created as a division point for the Texas and Pacific Railroad. Circa 1909, local citizens renamed the village to Addis to honor J. W. Addis, the railroad official who had convinced the railroad to build a depot, hotel, and other facilities there in 1904.
The Bank of Addis building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located in the town and is now the Addis Museum.
