believed to have been established in 1866, although exact documentation
is not available. The town started to flourish when the San Antonio
and Aransas Pass Railroad operated freight and passenger service
from San Antonio with connections to Fredericksburg and Kerrville.
Mail service by stagecoach was operated as early as 1847. The original
store and post office, a two-story structure, burned down in 1916
and was rebuilt that same year.
