Juan Seguin
In 1838, during the early days of the Republic of Texas, a group of Rangers established this town under live oaks beside springs on the Guadalupe River.
They soon named it in honor of Juan Seguin, a Tejano patriot who had fought against the brutal Mexican dictator, Santa Anna.
The next year, Col. Juan N. Seguin visited this town newly named for him, and he paraded through the streets, in uniform and on horseback, with his sword raised, to accept this honor. A statue here now portrays him on that visit.
