Cotulla

Cotulla is the county seat of La Salle County in Texas, located roughly 80 miles southwest of San Antonio. The city sits in the Brush Country region and serves as the administrative center for the county's government and services.

The city began in 1881 when a Polish immigrant named Joseph Cotulla gave land for a railroad station. This donation set the foundation for the town to grow as a railroad hub in the region.

The local museum displays objects and documents that show how the region developed over time. Walking through, you get a sense of the stories and lives that shaped this community.

The city is accessible by car and sits along a main route through South Texas. Visitors will find basic services and amenities typical of a small county seat.

A future U.S. president spent time teaching at a local school in the late 1920s before entering politics. This experience marked an important chapter in his life before he became a national figure.
