The following is on the Historical Marker in Downtown D'Hanis located on Front Street between Sacarosa Ave. and Lindsay Ave.

In 1847 Henri Castro established D'Hanis, his fourth colony, 1.5 miles east of this site, named for a Castro Company Official, William D'Hanis. Alsatian immigrants endured great hardship to build a community that thrived for 30 years. In 1881, when the railroad bypassed the town, D'Hanis moved with it.
(D'Hanis moved 2 miles northeast, the abondoned town is now
called "Old D'Hanis") Aided by the railroad, new D'Hanis  flourished, sending cattle, cotton, and brick to markets. From 1900 a strong Mexican-American community grew in the town, contributing to it's fortune. The new area survived despite crop failures and the Great Depression be coming know simply as D'Hanis (maker placed 1997)

Message from the Editor: This is a non-profit page made for the community of D'Hanis. The only reason any business was listed on this page is because they are in the D'Hanis community. Not because they paid for the spot. If there is a business that I forgot to list, please email me and I will add it. I am also working on  pages for Sabinal Texas and Knippa Texas.
