AT HOME IN SEGUIN, TEXAS
A vibrant community with a population of almost 25,000 nestled on the banks of the
picturesque Guadalupe River, Seguin is strategically located in South Central Texas on Interstate
Highway 10, and the main east-west Union Pacific rail lines. San Antonio, the 10th largest city in
the United States, is 30 minutes west of Seguin via IH-10, while Austin, the state capital, is
conveniently accessible 50 miles to the north by State Highway 123 and Interstate 35. The ports of
Houston and Corpus Christi are nearly equal distance (160 miles) from Seguin.
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, flanked by an 18-hole golf course.
Nearby are the fairgrounds, volleyball courts, ballparks, and a country club.
Nowadays both Interstate 10 and a main line of the Union Pacific pass through the town's north
side, where most manufacturing is located. Today 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. ■
