Paul Co.” Presented by Jim Maloney Tuesday, October 4, 2016, 7:00 p.m. First Presbyterian Church, Corpus Christi George H. Paul grew up on a farm near Washington, Iowa. He was a hired hand, making $18 per month until 1904 when he went to work selling land. He was in Canada when he heard about the vast tracts of ranchland for sale in Texas, so he came to Corpus Christi to see for himself. Paul made a deal with rancher Robert Driscoll to sell Driscoll ranch land north of Robstown, founded at the junction of the Tex‐Mex and Brownie railroad lines. The George H. Paul Company soon had prospective land buyers arriving by the trainload.

  • Evaluates and Plans for the Transportation Needs of the Nueces and San Patricio County Areas
    CSJ 0101-06-095 Affected Environment 3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 LAND USE 3.1.1 History and Development Trends Permanent settlement in the area that would eventually become Corpus Christi began in the 1840s when Henry L. Kinney and William P. Aubrey established a trading post on the west shore of what is now called Corpus Christi Bay. In 1846, Corpus Christi became the county seat of newly formed Nueces County, and by the 1850s the city was laid out with numbered streets. After the Civil War, the city emerged as an important shipping center when the main ship channel was dredged to accommodate large steam ships. The first railroad arrived in 1875, with three more rail lines following by 1914 (Long 2012a). Mayor Roy Miller adopted an aggressive modernization program in 1913. In three years, the City had paved 12 miles of existing streets, constructed two miles of new streets, laid 26 miles of sanitary and storm sewers, built a garbage incinerator, and installed a new water system (WPA 1942, 169). Though travelers crossing Nueces Bay had utilized a raised oyster reef between the Nueces and Corpus Christi Bays since the 1840s, a reinforced concrete causeway was completed in 1915 (Givens and Moloney 2011, 11; 195). A hurricane in 1919 destroyed much of North Beach and the downtown area. The city was rebuilt quickly, and in 1926 a deep water port was opened to accommodate large vessels, ushering in a period of growth and prosperity for the area. The following year, a bascule bridge (drawbridge) was constructed over the Inner Harbor and opened to the traveling public.

This is part two of the oral history interview with Mrs. Karen Howden. My name is Aurora Kolar. It is September 28th. We are in Corpus Christi, Texas, and we're here today to talk a bit about Old Bayview cemetery. Ms. Howden, do I have your permission to record you? Karen Howden: Yes, you do. AK: Um, excellent. To start off, tell me about the second yellow fever epidemic and the journal of the sheep herder. KH (00:34): Oh, Okay. (Karen laughs and her phone buzzes) That is a good one. Um, there were actually two yellow fever epidemics in Corpus Christi. One was about 1854 and there just wasn't that many people in Corpus Christi. Yeah. And there were deaths and such, but it, it just didn't spread like the one in 1867, where we lose about a third of the city's population. We lose all three of the doctors. And, um, I believe, um, one of the, one of the folks that are at, buried at Old Bayview cemetery is a doctor by the name of Alexander Hamilton. And he was Canadian, and he came here after the three doctors passed white and he brought with him a student by the name of Arthur Spohn. Who has, who founded those hospitals here in Corpus Christi, and they are still named after this gentleman. But the yellow fever epidemic was, if you ever read anything about yellow fever there, um, they believe that it came in on banana boats and it came in to Indianola, which is north, which was north of Corpus Christi.

    Nueces County Historical Society January 2019 NUECES COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS Speaker: Terry Caldwell “Growing Up in Corpus Christi” Tuesday, February 5, 2019 7:00 p.m. First Presbyterian Church, 430 S. Carancahua Street, Corpus Christi As a third generation Corpus Christian, Terry Caldwell will share his memories of growing up in Corpus Christi as well as speaking of his family connections and other well-known names associated with Corpus Christi. Mr. Caldwell is a direct relative of E. L. Caldwell who founded E. L. Hardware Company in 1890. E. L. Caldwell and sons were instrumental in meeting the needs of our agricultural region from farming to ranching as they invented and improved various implements. The company was responsible for delivering castings used in the first drilling of artesian wells on the King Ranch. The company continued to grow and develop until 1978. Mr. Caldwell is a graduate of Gregory Portland High School and then attended Southwest Texas State University. He worked for an oil company on offshore gas platforms throughout the 1980’s and then moved to Aruba for 13 years. He returned to Corpus Christi with his German born wife and began his business, Del Mar Painting. Page 1 of 14 Nueces County Historical Society January 2019 Billy Sayles’ presentation on growing up on the Northside of Corpus Christi at the January NCHS meeting was interesting and informative.
