Seguin is small
enough to have a friendly feeling. A town where
tree-lined streets are graced by Queen Anne
mansions, charming bungalows, and other
comfortable homes.
A community of
neighborhoods where families live among people
of all incomes, ages, and backgrounds. Here good
public schools are a proud tradition. And a fine
park stretches along the beautiful Guadalupe
River.
Seguin is big
enough to boast a top-rated university and a
well-respected hospital. Over 25,000 folks here
enjoy a range of cultural, recreational, and
employment opportunities.
Our robust
diversified economy features a steelmaker, a
manufacturer of automotive parts, and plants
making roadside mowing equipment and building
materials. In 2009, Seguin was proud to be
selected by Caterpillar as the site of a major
new engine manufacturing facility.
Seguin Texas
History
Seguin is one of
the oldest towns in Texas. In 1838, a group
of frontier Rangers laid out a settlement
among beautiful live oaks beside Walnut
Springs on the Guadalupe River. They soon
named the town for Col. Juan N. Seguin, a
Tejano who fought beside the Anglo settlers
against the brutal Mexican dictator Santa
Anna. During the remaining years of the
Republic of Texas, many settlers arrived
from the South hoping to establish cotton
plantations. Some say the Old South ended
here because few plantations, if any, took
root west of those built here. An early
census showed that some 30 percent of the
county's population were African-American
slaves. Meanwhile, the frontier town was a
center for experimentation with using
concrete as a building material. By the late
19th century, about one out of 10 structures
here was made of the locally invented "limecrete."
As a result, this small town had the
greatest concentration of concrete buildings
in the country! (A big city back East may
have had a larger number in total, but this
possibility cannot be proved or disproved.)
Only about 20 of these rare concrete relics
survive today including Sebastopol State
Historic Site.
Immigrants from
Germany began to pour into the area during
the 1840s. They came in a steady stream
throughout the rest of the 19th century,
briefly interrupted by the Civil War, from
1861-1865. Beginning in 1848 until after the
railroad arrived in 1876, stagecoaches made
an overnight stop at the Magnolia Hotel, on
the route from Indianola and Port Lavaca on
Matagorda Bay to
San Antonio.
For many decades, King Cotton ruled
hereabouts, and the town's prosperity
largely depended on the surrounding rich
farms and pasture lands. Then in 1930, the
discovery of the Darst Creek Field set off
an oil boom here. Other boom-towns sprang up
like gushers and as quickly fell into
decline. But because Seguin was already an
established city, it survived its oil boom
and accumulated a prize collection of civic
buildings and park facilities from the
period. New industries arrived after World
War II.
Today, plants
making steel, electronic products, mowing
equipment, construction material, etc.,
provide a solid industrial base. A huge,
highly efficient, gas-powered
electric-generating plant came on line
recently. The thriving service sector
includes a highly-rated and fast-growing
liberal arts university anchoring the
western side of the city. A modern,
well-respected hospital adjoins a sprawling
district for shopping, eating, and lodging
on the eastern flank. The beautiful
Guadalupe River cuts through the city's
south side. A fine public park was built
alongside it beginning during the Depression
years when Seguin enjoyed its oil boom. A
scenic drive lined with picnic tables
shadows the river for a mile or so, bordered
by an 18-hole golf course. Nearby are the
fairgrounds, volleyball courts, ballparks,
and a country club. Both Interstate 10 and a
main line of the Union Pacific pass through
the town's north side, where most
manufacturing is located. The heart of the
city is filled with fine old homes in
traditional neighborhoods, and the city is
ringed by contemporary residential
developments as well. In addition, just
outside the current city limits, hundreds of
handsome riverfront homes sit along the
shores of Lake McQueeney, Lake Placid, and
Meadow Lake on the beautiful Guadalupe
River.
