The Guadalupe River
It was named Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe in 1689 by Alonso de Leon. The shortened Guadalupe held fast in spite of efforts to rename it to San Augustin by a river colony, Domingo Teran de los Rios.
The Guadalupe river banks have produced evidence that people have been living around it for thousands of years. Who can blame them? It is a beautiful river.
In the late 50's to the 60's the Guadalupe River was dammed to create Canyon Lake. This was done to aid in flood prevention and water conservation.
