CORSICANA , a city and the county-seat of Navarro county,
Texas
 , U.S.A., situated in the N.E. part of the state, about 55 M. S. of Dallas. Pop. (189o) 6285; (1goo) 9313, of whom 2399 were of negro descent; (1910 census) 9749. It is served by the

  Western, and the Trinity & Brazos Valley railways. It is the centre of a large and productive wheat- and
cotton
 -growing region, which has also numerous oil wells (with a total production in 1907 of 226,311 barrels). The city has two oil refineries, a large
cotton
  1 gin and a cotton compress, and among its manufactures are cotton-seed oil, cotton-cloth, flour and ice. The total value of the factory product in 1905 was $1,796,805, being an increase of 50'3% since 1900. Natural gas is extensively used for fuel and for lighting. Corsicana is the seat of the Texas state orphan
home
  and of an Odd Fellows widows' and orphans'
home
 , and has a
Carnegie
  library. Corsicana was named in honour of the wife of a Mexican, Navarro, who owned a large
tract
  of land in the county and from whom the county was named. The first permanent
settlement
  here was made in 1848, and Corsicana was incorporated as a
village
  in 185o and chartered as a city in 1871.
