Saffold Dam, Historic waterfall at Guadalupe River, United States
The Saffold Dam creates a distinctive S-curve waterfall formation along the Guadalupe River, measuring several meters in height and width.
William Saffold acquired the property in 1853 from Manuel N. Flores, a veteran of the Battle of San Jacinto, establishing its connection to Texas history.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered over 1,000 artifacts in a single day, revealing evidence of indigenous hunter-gatherer settlements.
Located on Highway 123 at the southern edge of Seguin, Texas, the site features designated areas for observing the waterfall and surrounding landscape.
The dam structure underwent modifications in 1907 to incorporate hydroelectric power generation capabilities, marking technological advancement in the region.
