Description
EN
From the nearby Historical Marker:
In 1690 the Spanish gave the name "San Francisco" to this 62-mile
Brazos River tributary; but on an 1822 map, Stephen F. Austin,
"Father of Texas", marked it "Yegua", Spanish for "mare". Mustang
mares and foals then grazed among the Indians on the timbered
creek. In 1826, colonist John P. Coles built a mill on the stream.
A measure signed in 1837 by Texas President Sam Houston made the
Yegua a county boundary. Floods often devastated the area until
Lake Somerville harnessed Yegua's waters in 1967. Now a recreation
area, the lake and creek benefit crops, wild life, and
vacationers.
