Q. Is the nearby community of Geronimo named after the Apache warrior?
A. For the answer to this question, I turned to a book donated to the library by noted allthings-Texas author, Mike Cox. We were happy to accept his gift of 4,200 books from his personal Texana collection. For many years, he wrote for the Austin American Statesman. Cox may be best known for his books on the Texas Rangers.
“The History of Geronimo, Guadalupe County, Texas 78115” by Carolyn Bading discusses a spring belonging to Geronimo (or Jeronimo) Flores. Geronimo Creek flows into the Guadalupe River three miles southeast of Seguin.
