Castroville was named for Henri Castro who was awarded a land grant on 15 January 1842. He then purchased more land because he wanted to start a settlement on the Medina River. On 2 September 1844, he left San Antonio with a small group of Alsatian colonists to find a place to settle. The place they chose was a level area along the river with many pecan trees and greenery. Though the settlement had many trials with animals, the weather, plagues of locusts and cholera, and raids by Comanches and Mexicans, they persisted. The lots were laid out with farming plots included in each one. Castro named most streets after his friends, relatives and European capitals. A church was built early on with more being built soon thereafter. By 1854 there was an operating school in town. Within a few years more, a number of businesses had opened up in Castroville.
