Did you know that a neighborhood called âGoosetownâ was once in our midst? đȘ¶
From 1890 to WWII, an Italian-immigrant community thrived in an area enclosed by Guadalupe River and Grant, First, and Alma streets. Our fruit-growing climate reminded many Italian families of the weather in Naples, and found comfort in their âhome away from home.â
Okay, but why was it called âGoosetownâ?
According to city lore, the town got its name from all the geese that once flocked to residentsâ yards. However, some say it was because geese inhabited the town whenever Guadalupe River flooded. While thereâs no verified story behind the name, weâd love to hear about any tips you might have that could help us solve this mystery.
Fun fact: Goosetown Lounge on Lincoln Ave. was named as such to remind locals of the townâs history.
