Collin M. Akin bought land along the river and established Eylau sometime after the Battle of San Jacinto. A post office was established at Eylau in 1885 and remained in operation until 1895. Its population was 30 in 1890. It ceased to exist as a community in 1940.[2]
Eylau is located on U.S. Route 59, 5.1 miles (8.2 km) southwest of Texarkana.
A school on Collin M. Akin's land was consolidated with the Sylar School on the M.H. Jones survey in 1886.[2] Today, the community of Eylau is served by the Liberty-Eylau Independent School District.
