Kyle Auction Oak


Here's a little history for ya...

I didn't actually know about this... but the photo you see here is a picture of the tree where Kyle came to be...

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

Wow...
Happy Wednesday.
