Located in east central San Saba County, San
Saba was first settled in 1854 and named for its location on the San Saba River.
The river, in turn, was named by the governor of Spanish Texas in 1732 after a
mission located near the site. The town became the county seat in 1856. By the
1890s San Saba had established itself as a financing, processing and marketing
center for county farmers and ranchers. The city was incorporated in 1910 and
quickly became a central shipping point for cattle, sheep, wool, cotton, turkeys
and, of course, pecans. |
