This solar powered sign lights up brightly at night. It is easy to read and represents the timber history of Lufkin and East Texas by having a half cross section of an East Texas Loblolly Pine log as the sign background and a pine tree as the "I" in Lufkin. The sign also provides the year the town was established although that is less readable as you drive by in a car.
The signs were designed by a joint effort of the Ciyt and Angelina Beautiful/Clean and were created by Signs by Debbie.
Lufkin is home to nearly 35,000 people and has ties long ties to the timber industry of East Texas.
