Images of America: Van Alstyne relates the story of a Texas town
born in an era when small-town life was deeply ingrained in
America. Founded by 1873, Van Alstyne is a close-knit, patriotic,
religious, hardworking, and progressive-minded community.
Surrounded by prime farmland, Van Alstyne thrived as a center for
cotton ginning. In addition to railroad service, a far-ranging
interurban line enhanced Van Alstyne's transportation system for 40
years. The Van Alstyne Grays, a semiprofessional team that placed
its stars into baseball's big leagues, represented the national
pastime. The town's former opera house still stands, and so do
other Victorian commercial buildings and homes--tangible reminders
of a classic American town that continues to offer the amenities of
a comfortable community.
