History
in a Pecan Shell
Named after St. Isidore of Seville (Patron Saint of Farmers), the
town was formed with the arrival of the first settler in 1877 (Santiago
PeZa).
A Catholic church was constructed around 1900 and a post office operated
from 1904 to 1913. A new church was built in 1963, and a twelve-grade
school consolidated several northern Starr County schools. The post
office (pictured) was opened in 1948.
Today San Isidro the leading community in northern Starr county. |
