History in
a Pecan ShellNamed
to honor Marie Stella Turcotte Kenedy, wife of Rancher John G. Kenedy,
Sr., the “town” was merely a stop alongside the tracks of the St. Louis, Brownsville
and Mexico Railroad. It had a station built at one point (no longer standing)
and remains a shipping point for cattle from the King Ranch.
