It is named after the Sabines, an ancient people that were in Latium before Rome was founded.
The legend says that Romans abducted Sabine women to populate the newbuilt town, but more realistic studies found many relationships between the two peoples, especially regarding religion and mythology. Many Sabine deities and cults found in fact a development in Rome, and many areas of the town (like the Quirinale) were once Sabine centers.
The area is today a tourist destination, with plenty of interesting medieval villages, and is perhaps more famous for its olive oil production.
Located in the pineywoods of east Texas, the 160,656-acre Sabine National Forest is the easternmost of the four national forests in Texas and forms part of the boundary between Texas and Louisiana.
The forest is situated on the western slopes of the Sabine River watershed within Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby, Jasper, and Newton counties.
The Sabine National Forest is managed under the ecosystem management concept, which follows standards, guidelines, and objectives found in the forest management plan.
