Description: Yorktown and Nordheim by Yorktown Historical Society, Nordheim Historical Society Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Founded 7 miles apart in south central Texas, Yorktown and Nordheim were settled by German immigrants. These immigrants found the rolling hills and grassland full of oak trees suitable for settlement, and the rich soil helped to make farming a way of life. Yorktown was settled near the Coleto Creek as a rest stop along the Indianola Trail for teamsters delivering freight to New Braunfels. Nordheim was settled because it was a high point and beacon for settlers, and it continued to grow when the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad was built. As the towns grew, so did the businesses and churches. The settlers shared a love of music, and bands came together to perform at various functions. On Saturdays the farmers, their families, and hired help would come to buy supplies, visit friends, and enjoy a day away from work. Today the spirit of community is still strong, as citizens put together annual celebrations and activities that promote tourism and help to maintain local pride. Author Biography Authors Shirley Mueller and Cathy Voelkel are both dedicated to the preservation of the history and heritage of their communities. Mueller, a retired teacher, is currently serving as vice president of the Yorktown Historical Society. Voelkel, a retired executive secretary, is the president of the Nordheim Museum and a business owner in Nordheim.
