The area was settled in the early 1860s. A post office operated there from 1874 to 1880 and from 1899 to 1918. In 1882, the reported population was 200. Around 1900, the community served as a stop on the Texas and Gulf Railroad.
After World War I, Murvaul began to decline. By the early 1990s, only a few scattered dwellings remained.
