Popeye statue in Crystal City, Bronze sculpture in Crystal City, United States.
The full-color Popeye statue stands prominently at the entrance of Crystal City Hall, displaying the cartoon character's signature muscular physique and corncob pipe.
Crystal City installed this statue on March 26, 1937, during a period when the local spinach industry produced 10,000 cans daily, establishing the city's agricultural significance.
The statue represents Crystal City's declaration as the World Spinach Capital and maintains its role as the official municipal mascot of this Texas community.
Visitors can locate the statue by taking US 83 to Lake Street, turning east into town, and making a left turn one block east of Highway 65.
A second Popeye statue resides inside the city hall building, serving as a guardian figure for the Chamber of Commerce offices.
