History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Rector is named after Governor Henry Massey Rector (1816–1899).

In 1881 the Texas and St. Louis Railroad laid out the town of Rector about to the south of an existing settlement named Scatterville, and the population of Scatterville gradually migrated to the new town.
