Just A Little About San Angelo, Texas
City of San Angelo, Texas!
San Angelo, county seat of Tom Green County, is located in the heart of West Texas at the juncture of the Middle and North Concho Rivers. The city had its beginning in 1867 when Bart DeWitt established a trading post "over the river" from Fort Concho, a frontier military post that had been established earlier the same year. DeWitt named the settlement "Santa Angela" in honor of his wife's sister, a Mexican nun. Later the name was changed to San Angelo. Prospects for the future of San Angelo were not bright in 1875 when a nearby stage depot, Ben Ficklin, won a heated election for the right to become the county seat. However, a flash flood devastated the rival settlement seven years later, leaving San Angelo the undisputed "Queen of the Conchos." After Fort Concho was deactivated in May 1889, San Angelo developed rapidly into a business town for cattle and sheep raisers. Today the city has a population of approximately 100,000.
Fort Concho in San Angelo, Texas!
Although its early growth resulted from its role as a mecca for ranchmen, the city slowly expanded economically and culturally until it emerged as a major center of activity for a vast area of West Texas. In addition to accommodating livestock, farming, and oil interests, San Angelo now attracts fishing and boating enthusiasts to its three lakes, a merchandise-minded and style-conscious clientele to its numerous downtown and urban shopping districts, and culturally oriented and artistically inclined patrons to its San Angelo Symphony, art galleries, and Fiesta del Concho. One of the most widely supported of its numerous community projects is the annual rodeo, which features nationally known riders and ropers. The Fort Concho Museum contributes to the preservation of the city's early heritage. San Angelo is also the home of Goodfellow Air Force Base, a significant security installation.
