Q. When did the San Marcos Daily Record move to the Interstate 35 access road? Where were its offices before that?
A. Let’s go back to the beginning. The San Marcos Record was established in 1912 by George Staples. In 1920, with about four thousand residents, San Marcos supported two newspapers: the Hays County Times and the San Marcos Record.
In April 1921, T.A. Buckner and G.C. Jones purchased the Record from Staples. That same year, Walter Buckner moved here from McAllen, Texas and purchased a small interest in the newspaper. At that time, the Record was located at 214 North Austin Street – now LBJ Drive.
