History
Floresville, Texas is located at the junction of U.S. Highway 181 and State Highway 97, thirty miles southeast of San Antonio in the central portion of the county. Floresville is a city in Wilson County, Texas, United States.
The area was settled by Canary Island immigrant Don Francisco Flores de Abrego, who established a ranch headquarters six miles northwest of the site of present Floresville in the eighteenth century. In 1833 the nucleus of the town included the Flores home, a chapel, and a graveyard. In 1867 Floresville, named for the Flores family, was founded; its site included part of the area known as Lodi.
In November 1873 county voters made Floresville the county seat. Development accelerated in 1883, when the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway announced plans to construct a line through the town. The town was incorporated in 1890, when the reported population was 1,500.
Peanuts were developed as a cash crop in the surrounding region around 1915 and in later years residents nicknamed Floresville the "Peanut Capital of Texas." The town serves a market center for area peanut, small grain, and cattle producers. Many residents now commute to work in San Antonio. Floresville is best known for its annual Peanut Festival, started in 1938, which attracts 10,000 to 15,000 visitors each year.
