San Angelo
Encyclopedia Article
San Angelo, city, seat of Tom Green County, western Texas, on the Concho River; incorporated 1903. It became known for its large wool, mohair, and livestock markets. Angelo State University (1926) is here, and Goodfellow Air Force Base adjoins the city. Bartholomew “Bart” J. DeWitt (1825-1878) founded a trading post here soon after the establishment (1867) nearby of Fort Concho (now a museum). For the community that soon developed, DeWitt chose the name Saint Angela, probably for his wife Carolina Angela. In 1884 the name was changed to San Angelo. Population 73,240 (1980); 84,474 (1990); 88,439 (2000); 88,300 (2006).
