Cotulla Downtown Historic District (Cotulla, Texas) City of Cotulla Historic District - The District, bounded by Kerr and Market Streets and Tilden and Carrizo Street, has been placed on both the State and National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. In 1881, when the International & Great Northern Railroads pushed through South Texas, rancher Joseph Cotulla offered part of his homestead in exchange for running the track through his property. He platted a town site with a central plaza and a row of storefront businesses that drew cowboys and homesteaders for miles around. Through Cotulla’s “Wild West” reputation was well earned, those rough and ready days are largely a thing of the past. What remains are Cotulla’s historic storefront businesses, town plaza and civic buildings which together convey a strong sense of the frontier towns that helped tame the wilderness, a sense that most only see in the movies.
