Welcome to San Augustine!

Oldest Anglo-Saxon City in Texas

One can find endless fascination in San Augustine, a place that maintains the mystery of an old trunk set back in a corner of an attic, unopened for a century. It feels good to be living here. Visitors are intrigued by the details of the place, its quaint old houses, the red earth of its fields, the deep woods. We love our city, and we think you will too!

I have got through safe and have been received by everybody with the open ceremony of friendship. I am hailed with a hearty welcome to this country. I must say as to what I have seen of Texas - it's the garden spot of the world. The best prospects for health I ever saw and I do believe it is a fortune to any Man to come here. There is a world of country here to settle. Do not be uneasy about me. I am among my friends.
- David Crockett

Written from San Augustine, 9th January 1836
