History
in a Pearl Beer Bottle
There’s not a lot to say about Pearl City, except that the name is
a misnomer. One visit will immediately tell you that there never was
a city here. According to the Handbook of Texas Online, Pearl City
was “reputedly” named for the quantity of Pearl Beer sold in a local
store. It’s a better reason for a town name than some places.
Pearl City with its DeWitt
County neighbors of Hocheim,
Petersville and Buchel make for a scenic and interesting country drive
between Cuero
and Yoakum. We recommend a detailed TxDOT county map since only Cuero
and Yoakum show on the state highway map. |
