San Augustine is the oldest town in Texas. San Augustine had an Ayish Indian village as early as the 1200s and the first European visitors arrived there early in the 1540s. In 1717 Father Antonio Margil de Jesus established a Spanish mission near the Indian village on Ayish Bayou. So San Augustine, in addition to Nacogdoches, can also rightfully make the "oldest town" claim. San Augustine's important historic residents include Sam Houston, who lived here while seeking the republic presidency, and J. Pinckney Henderson, Texas' first governor. The detailed itinerary in this chapter is a driving tour that features extensive recommendations for sightseeing attractions, recreational activities, lodging, restaurants, shopping, and more.
Nacadoches, St. Augustine, Presidio, and Ysleta all claim to be the oldest town in Texas.
