  Castroville, Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castroville is a city in Medina County, Texas.
Castroville was established in 1844 by Henri Castro, an empresario of the Republic of Texas, who brought several dozen European families to the area from Alsace and adjoining Baden to populate his land grant along the Medina River 20 miles west of San Antonio.
In Castroville's first century, a visitor would be more likely to hear Alsatian -- a soft, French-flecked dialect of German -- than English spoken in the town's homes, stores and taverns.
