In deep Southwest Texas by the Rio Grande, the village was established 1881 when Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway was building through; was junction of construction from east and west. Two origins of town's name exist; one prosaic, the other romantic. One credits town name to a civil engineer named Langtry who directed a group of Chinese laborers in railroad construction. But, colorful Judge Roy Bean insisted he named town after his idol, English actress Lillie Langtry, the "Jersey Lilly."
