The town of Bullard is situated in a valley of the Red River. Bullard's first settlers were French trappers and traders. When they passed through this place, they found buffalo and deer along with the Spanish settlement of New San Felipe de Austin. After the War of 1812, most of the trappers and hunters left the area. The United States government decided to build a road between Marshall County and the rest of the nation. This road became known as the Red River Road. It was completed in 1819. Because of the construction of the road, many settlers came to this area. The settlers came mainly from the state of Tennessee, and many of them were slaves.

The first settlers came to Bullard in 1859. At that time, the community was called Oak Hill. Then, a town called Bullardville was founded. The name "Bullard" was given to the community after the first postmaster, a man named Bullard, moved there. The community is located near the middle of Texas. It is known for its historic buildings, great parks, and great schools. It is home to the Trinity River Audubon Society and the Nature Center at Bullard.

 Bullard is a small community located on Highway 7, which is an east-west highway that runs between Hendersonville and Murphy. The Bullard post office serves the city. The Hewsville post office was closed in 1881, and the Bullard post office opened in 1882. It is named for John H. Bullard, a Confederate soldier, and Emma Eugenia (Erwin) Bullard. Another nearby town is Lindale.

In 1883, the Etna post office near Hewsville was closed. Then, the Hewsville office was renamed "Bullard." The Bullard post office still operates today, and many rural residents in northern Cherokee County are served by the Bullard post office.
