San Angelo (/[invalid input: 'icon']sæn ˈændʒəloʊ/)[1] is a city in the state of Texas. Located in West Central Texas, it is the county seat of Tom Green County. As of 2010 according to the United States Census Bureau, the city had a total population of 93,200.[2] The San Angelo metropolitan area had a population of 111,823.[3]
San Angelo is home to Angelo State University, historic Fort Concho, and Goodfellow Air Force Base.
Some common aliases or nicknames of San Angelo include Angelo, the River City, the Concho City, the Pearl of the Conchos, and the Oasis of West Texas.[4]
History
Prior to the coming of Europeans, San Angelo was the center of the Jumanos. In 1632, a short-lived mission of Franciscans under Spanish auspices occupied the area.[5]
The history of the current city of San Angelo began in 1867. Fort Concho was established as one of a series of new forts designed to protect the frontier from hostile threats. The Fort was home to cavalry, infantry, and the famous Black Cavalry, otherwise known as Buffalo Soldiers by Native Americans. The village of Santa Angela was established outside the fort at the juncture of the North and South Concho Rivers by Bartholomew J. DeWitt. He named the village after his wife Carolina Angela. The name was eventually changed to San Angela. The name would change again to San Angelo in 1883 on the insistence of the United States Postal Service, as the original name was considered grammatically incorrect. It soon became a center for farmers and settlers in the area, as well as a fairly lawless area filled with brothels, saloons and gambling houses.
The town grew quickly in the 1880s after becoming the county seat, and especially after the railroads arrived, making it a central transportation hub for the region. The Santa Fe Railroad arrived in 1888 and the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient in 1909.[6] The city saw further growth when a tuberculosis outbreak hit the United States in the early 1900s. Many felt the dry, warm climate of San Angelo would benefit their health, and came to the city for treatment.
In 1928, the city founded San Angelo College, one of the region's first institutes of higher education, as a result of a municipal election. The city had been passed over by the Texas State Legislature to be the home of what would become Texas Tech University. San Angelo College, one of the first municipal colleges, has grown to become Angelo State University. The military returned to San Angelo during World War II with the founding of Goodfellow Air Force Base, which was assigned to train pilots at the time. San Angelo grew exponentially during the oil boom of the 1900s, when vast amounts of oil were found in the area, and the city became a regional hub of the oil and gas industry.[7][8]
