Discover Corsicana

Corsicana was founded in 1848, and José Antonio Navarro named it for the Mediterranean island of Corsica, his father's birthplace. Its first school opened in 1849. Women's groups played a strong part in the city's life: they founded the Corsicana Female Literary Institute, which ran from 1857 to 1870, and in 1901 opened the first public library, which a matching gift from Andrew Carnegie gave a permanent home in 1905. The Corsicana YMCA was founded in 1884 with the support of George Taylor Jester, later lieutenant governor of Texas, whose son Beauford H. Jester became governor.

More about Corsicana

In June 1894, oil seeped into an artesian well being drilled within the city limits for the Corsicana Water Development Company. In October 1895 the Corsicana Oil Development Company drilled the first commercial oil well, called the first commercially significant oil find in Texas, and by January 1899 a refinery was operating through the efforts of Joseph S. Cullinan. The Powell field was found a few miles east in 1900, and M. C. and C. E. Baker introduced rotary drilling to the oil industry using tools from a Corsicana machine shop. Wolf Brand Chili began in 1895 as a downtown lunch wagon, and the Collin Street Bakery has baked its fruitcakes in Corsicana since 1896. During World War II, Corsicana Air Field trained thousands of pilots. Sources Wikipedia: Corsicana, Texas
