No other town like it in Texas.

Message from the Mayor:

In the next three years, more buildings will be constructed in Castroville than in 178 that preceded them. These structures will be the visual backdrop for our lives and will outlast us by many generations. Their appearance and layout will shape how we interact as a community, the traffic we encounter, the businesses we frequent, and the types of residents we attract.

Some American cities have experienced rapid growth while maintaining their unique history, architectural styles, and strong social ties. Others have passively let a nearby metropolis overrun them with asphalt, congestion, and seas of low-end tract homes. We, as a community, have a small window to take charge of our destiny.

The City of Castroville, in partnership with the Castroville Conservation Society, is engaging a best-in-class team to provide their experience and insight into avoiding suburban sprawl. Through a series of public lectures and forums, these professionals will explore how we as a community can shape growth to enhance our unique town, sharing successes and failures from others around the United States. We encourage you to join us in this journey to strengthen our heritage and take control of our future as we prepare to re-write the city’s zoning ordinances and building codes.
