Travis is an unincorporated community in southeastern Falls County, Texas, United States. It is named after Travis Fleming Jones, who surveyed the site for the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway, in the 1880s.[citation needed] The population rose to 300 in the 1920s and 1930s, but then decreased to 60 by 1990 and has steadily remained at that figure since.[citation needed]
