Sinton, Texas
The San Patricio County seat was established in 1885 as station on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad. Sinton's greatest population surge came in 1909 when several large ranches divided into smaller farms with the resulting diversity of agriculture still being apparent. Recreation includes a small downtown park with a picnic area, the 300-acre Rob and Bessie Welder Park with playground, golf, tennis, swimming pool, and small lake east of U.S. 181 north.
