Wells Creek is an unincorporated community in Anderson County, located in the U.S. state of Texas.[1] It is located within the Palestine, Texas micropolitan area.
Wells Creek is named for the nearby Wells Creek, which was also named for Samuel G. Wells, who was issued a grant for the land that the community and a majority of the creek are located today. It had a flag stop station and several scattered houses in the 1930s, and only one home was located in the community in 1982.[2]
