Alvin, Texas City Info
The cattle industry brought settlers to the area in 1845, where Elisha and Missouri Thomas, their children and slaves built a home of cedar logs. When the Santa Fe Railroad expanded westward from Galveston to the interior of Texas, it built a water tank and holding pens for cattle that it shipped on the banks of the Mustang Bayou. The Railroad Company employed Alvin Morgan as an overseer. Morgan arrived in Alvin in 1879. He subsequently purchased two sections of land and built a house.
Although cattle constituted the first industry in the area, farming was well established by the 1890's. Strawberries, pears, and figs enjoyed periods of boom, and a canning plant was established. Vegetables were also grown for resale. Blocks of ice cut from frozen rivers and lakes in northern states were shipped to Alvin for use to keep the produce from spoiling. Eventually an ice house was established in Alvin to produce ice and the Alvin Box and Material Company was established to produce crates to store the produce during shipment. Several nurseries grew Cape Jasmines (a flower similar to gardenias) for shipment. Several mild winters gave locals the false confidence to grow satsuma oranges during the 1910's. Hard freezes put an end to the citrus cultivation.
