History in
a Pecan Shell
Described
as " a rural hamlet" by the Handbook of Texas, the area had
once been part of a coastal ranch in the 1920s. Sold to a man named
J.F. Weed, the crossroads community took on the name of Weedhaven
in the 1940s.
Weedhaven became a convenient stop between Houston
and Corpus
Christi, with a store, motel, icehouse and gas station. Population
figures weren't that important to the residents of Weedhaven and the
figure of 35 for the 2000 census is their first. It was discovered
by Ken
(Mr. Third Coast) Rudine in 2007 who submitted it for inclusion.
