Hebbronville’s Roots in Hispanic Institutions
An unassuming daycare center in modern-day Hebbronville dates back to 1897, when it was established as a bilingual school for local Mexican and Tejano children. As one of the few remaining structures of its kind in South Texas, the building dispels myths about the lack of educational values in Mexican American communities during that time. Located at the corner of Pine Avenue and Santa Clara Street, it is surrounded by several other historic and architectural gems that reflect Hebbronville's roots in Hispanic institutions, such as churches and schools.
