Yoakum

Chisholm Trail Monument
Photographer: Stan A. Williams

Yoakum is located partially in western Lavaca County and partially in eastern DeWitt County. In its early years, Anglo-Americans used this site for gathering herds of bawling Texas longhorns that were driven to market along the Chisholm Trail. With arrival of San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroads in 1887, town site established. Today, city derives its economy from 12 leather goods manufacturers. Once, Yoakum called itself the "Green Wrap" tomato capital of the world and still commemorates this heritage with an annual Tom Tom Festival, usually on the first week of June.
