The area in what is known as Henry's Chapel today may have been settled by people from Arkansas in the early 1820s, who named it for a local church. It had two churches, two stores, and 75 residents in the mid-1930s. One of the stores and both churches closed, but it gained another church in the early 1990s. The population remained at 75 from 1990 through 2000.[2]
Henry's Chapel is located at the intersection of Farm to Market Roads 13 and 856, 23 mi (37 km) northeast of Rusk in northeastern Cherokee County.[2]
Henry's Chapel had its own school in 1897 and had 27 students.[2] Today, the community is served by the Carlisle Independent School District.
