That area was wiped away in 1919 by a hurricane ,later they filled it in from the 1st street that is water street to way back and put in a seawall .That is why Corpus Christi has a up town and downtown.

What a fun, beautiful presentation. I grew up in the area (Brownsville) and Corpus has always been a home to me. The layout of the city is pretty neat and it has grown into a marvelous, elegant fun nostalgic beach town. As I recall from the 1970’s, Corpus Christi was a Vegasesque/Hollywood South Texas Gulf Coast beach city. Many fond memories of the place. Thank you again for your presentation. Bravo!

I am seventh Generation Texan and my Family lived in Nueces County and can trace our roots to the very early times of Kinney’s Trading Post Before Corpus Christi was a city. I wish that we were able to produce written documents to have proof of our Family history. But we can only show proof by censes reports back to about the 1840’s or so. I am sure that there are many Texan and American Families in this similar situation. Especially Families with ties to the Original 13 Colonies. Digging into your Family History is Awesome! Very eye opening! I wish that more American Families would do this more often.

The original Texas Mexican Railway bridge is in the park behind the Central Library. It use to run all the way to the water.

The Late Pleistocene geology of the bay front and the uptown area requires a little research, but is very interesting. Urban geology was Dr. O.T. Hayward's specialty at Baylor University. My personal study of the geology of Corpus Christi continues. Consider the geomorphology of the bluff area. Go, stand atop the bluff... ask the question: "How did these sediments get here?" Second, "Differential weathering or geologic catastrophe?" The sea goes in... the sea goes out. Confluent rivers in South Texas, during various intermittent periods, were sometimes as wide as one mile or more!

Maybe where the 2 trains lead onto pier, are now what is the t-heads
@gaylewayland9628 Жыл бұрын
Those piers were destroyed by hurricanes. You know where Water Street is now, right? Not on the water. To help prevent a repeat of the disastrous flooding of downtown in the 1919 Storm, everything between Water St and the seawall was elevated and filled in; streets and the seawall were built; then the T-heads were built as extensions of three streets. This happened in the late 1930s or early 40s iirc.

My hometown Caranchua and Tanchua streets still exist and Incarnate Word is a big Catholic school and Church further out on Saratoga. In elementary I went to CC Cathedral, it looks like the same area where church is closer to the water. Cool video

Incarnate Word was a convent first. There's still a convent, I believe, next to the school on Alameda, for the Sisters of the Incarnate Word (a phrase meaning the Son of God. Incarnate Word means "the Word [of God] made flesh").
