Seguin, like most Texas cities, is filled with history and patriotism. The city itself was established in 1839 and originally called Walnut Springs because of its freshwater resources. It was changed to Seguin, after Colonel Juan N. Seguin, who helped throughout the struggle for Texas’ independence. Today, the city boasts a variety of attractions, its most beautiful being the Guadalupe River. Enjoy its clear waters and scenic beauty with an afternoon picnic or explore the wide diversity of geological, botanical and aquatic life. You can easily spend a day at Starcke Park, located along the Guadalupe River. Play a game of 18-hole golf, tennis or basketball among other sports or cast a line at the natural fishing area. Take a stroll on the walking trail or take the four-mile Seguin Paddling Trail, perfect for paddlers of all stages.
As one of the oldest towns in the state, it’s only fitting that Seguin would have a nationally registered historic landmark downtown. Many of the buildings in downtown date back to early 1900s. There are a sprawling collection of buildings that include boutiques, restaurants with your pick of ethnic cuisine and more. In addition to being a historical town, this city is also home of the world’s largest pecan. Grab your camera and snap a memento in front of the huge nut on the Courthouse lawn.
