History
Jourdanton, Texas is the county seat of Atascosa County, and is located at the intersection of State highways 16, 97, and 173, five miles southwest of Pleasanton.
Jourdanton was designed from a blueprint as a designated stop on the Artesian Belt Railroad. Jourdan Campbell, who gave his name to the new community, and Col. T. H. Zanderson founded the town in September of 1909. Capt. C. S. Young designed the layout and cooperated with the railroad company so that livestock and cotton could be shipped by railroad to San Antonio. Peter F. Watson, of the Jourdanton Land Company, organized the first auction of town lots in 1909.
In 1956 the courthouse, which was originally built in 1909, was remodeled to reflect the progress of the community. Since the 1960s the railroad, which was responsible for the origin of Jourdanton, had stopped running, but the town continued to grow in the 1970’s and 1980’s. The rich resources of gas, oil, and lignite provided a strong and stable economy for the citizens of Jourdanton.
