Public History: https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/bulah-tx
Bulah, on Farm Road 23 eight miles southwest of Rusk in southwestern Cherokee County, was established before 1900. In 1940 the community had a population of twenty-five, a store, and a union church and school. Bulah School Distict No. 13 was consolidated with the Rusk Independent School District in the mid-1950s. Most of the residents subsequently moved out of the area, but in the late 1980s a school and a few houses were still there. In the early 2000s the schoolhouse was used for family reunions. Hendrick Cemetery is located in Bulah, and Adams Chapel Methodist Church is in the vicinity. No population estimates were available in 2020, though family descendants of early landowners continued to live in the area.
