Jay
Gould, the 19th Century railroad magnate decided that his International-Great
Northern Railroad needed a station between Austin
and San
Marcos. He made a deal with property owners David Moore and Fergus Kyle and
200 acres of their former land was auctioned off in 1880 under the Kyle Auction
Oak.
The Auction Oak is located inside Kyle
on Sledge Street, about two blocks south of Center Street. Since there seem to
be two distinct trunks, it is sometimes referred to as The Auction Oaks.
