Castroville and Alsace
Castroville's namesake, Henri Castro, was given a land grant in the early 1840's by the Republic of Texas and brought families from the Alsace region of France to settle this area beginning in 1844. Those Alsatian colonists were given land for homes and farms in and around Castroville and many of those descendants still live in this area, and farm that same land. They are very proud of their Alsatian heritage and many people travel annually to Alsace, and vice versa.
