Tomlinson Hill is a small unincorporated community in Falls County, Texas, United States.^[1] It lies approximately 7½ miles west of Marlin on State Highway 320 and approximately 1½ miles west-southwest of the junction of 320 and State Highway 7.

History

It was named for James K. Tomlinson, a native of Georgia who settled in the area with his family in the 1850s.^[1]^[2]^[3] After emancipation, many of Tomlinson's former slaves took his last name.^[2]^[3] Most of the Tomlinsons have since moved from the area, but some remain, and one notable resident returned – the late Oliver Tomlinson, the father of former National Football League (NFL) player LaDainian Tomlinson.^[2]^[3]

The school had fifty-one students in 1933.^[1] In the 1940s, there were four businesses, a school, and several houses.^[1] By the 1980s, there was only a church and one business.^[1] It was also the site of the annual meeting of the Old Settlers and Veterans Association of Falls County.^[1] The population was sixty-four in 2000.^[1]

In 2012, a documentary featuring a white descendant, Chris Tomlinson, and a black descendant, Loreane Tomlinson, was directed by Lisa Kaselak.^[4]^[5]
