History
in a Pearl Beer Bottle
There’s not a lot to say about Pearl City,
except that the name is a misnomer. One visit will immediately tell you that there
never was a city here. According to the Handbook of Texas Online, Pearl City was
“reputedly” named for the quantity of Pearl Beer sold in a local store. It’s a
better reason for a town name than some places.
Pearl City with its DeWitt
County neighbors of Hocheim, Petersville
and Buchel make for a scenic and interesting country drive between Cuero
and Yoakum. We recommend a detailed TxDOT county
map since only Cuero
and Yoakumshow on the state highway map.
