RV rental Louise, TX: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Louise is in Wharton County, Texas. It was established in 1881 when the railroad arrived, and a stop was declared. The railroad VP at the time, Colonel Hungerford named the train stop after his daughter (another nearby city was named after his other daughter, Edna). Prior to 1881, the land was used for grazing free-range cattle. A post office was established in 1888 and in 1901, the area was surveyed, and plans for the town were drafted. The men who initiated the town built a hotel, a bank, and a mercantile store. Shortly after, rice was planted, and deepwater wells were drilled to irrigate the rice fields; cotton, corn, and milo joined the rice as major crops, and the area became a major agricultural resource until oil was discovered in 1930. These two industries continued to be the source of the town's economy and still are today.
