A Spanish settlement on the Atascosito road was established here in 1757 to prevent French trade with the Indians. Four and one-half miles west of here, the road crossed the Trinity, where Spanish explorer Alonso de Leon crossed in 1690. The road from Goliad to Opelousas, Louisiana, known as the Lower Road and extensively traveled from 1750 to 1850, also crossed there.
