Here is a little local Austin trivia. I have had many of my relocation clients ask me about Austin and I am always happy to share what I know. Several clients say it makes them feel more like a local to know some of our history. This is the first installment of what I hope will become a regular blog topic for me.

Have you ever wondered who William Cannon was, or what he did that was so important that there is a major street named after him in South Austin? William Cannon fought in the Battle of San Jacinto and was considered a hero. He was also a big landowner and a shop-keeper with a trading post close to the banks of Onion Creek. When the Mexican government was distributing land grants back in 1835, William Cannon received a large parcel of land. This land stretched from Williamson Creek to Slaughter Creek and Onion Creek. William Cannon was very instrumental in having the Hays County seat located in Cannonville, which was just northwest of San Marcos. If you guessed that Cannonville was named after William Cannon, then you are correct! The reason the Hays county seat is still located in San Marcos was a pesky little scuffle called the Civil War interrupted the process. Unfortunately William Cannon died before he was able to complete his mission to move the county seat to Cannonville.

Origins

Dates and sheep-milk were an important arabic foodstuff for hundreds of years. Dates grew well in the low California desert, but were not a widespread American food.

In 1928 Russ Nichol and his family built a roadside shack near Thermal California. I few years later this shack was expanded and named Valerie Jean after Russ' daughter. With electricity and refrigeration the Nichols were able to offer the trendy malt and milkshake combinations blended with their abundant supply of dates.

The original Valerie Jean's Date stand is presently not open. Date Shake sales are still primarily associated with Palm Springs and include Hadley Fruit Orchards just north of the city, Palm Springs Fudge & Chocolates downtown Palm Springs, and Shields Date Gardens or Oasis Date Gardens south of town.

Date Shakes are growing in popularity in Egypt and other Arab countries
