Israel is an unincorporated religious intentional community in Polk County, Texas, United States, located 80 miles (128 km) north of Houston.
Israel was established in 1895, by a religious group known as the Israelites. The Israelites had split from the Flying Roll, a sect of Adventism. They were vegetarian subsistence farmers; they also grew their hair out. They platted their community on 144 acres of land, and within their community, they operated a church: the New House of Israel. The population was 75 in 1909, which declined through the 20th century, though the population rose slightly, to 25 in 2000.
