Seguin, named in honor of Juan Seguin, a Tejano Texian freedom fighter and early supporter of the Republic of Texas, is one of the oldest towns in Texas, founded only 16 months after the Texas Revolution began. Situated just 30 miles east of San Antonio along the Guadalupe River, Seguin offers deep-rooted Texas history, the World's Largest Pecan, tree-lined river bottoms and the quaint, historic downtown experience that only small-town Texas can provide.
