Around 1890, between Chase Field and Beeville, the small community known as Hatcher's and later as Poesta arose. Tom Langston, Anton Juenger, Ben Hatcher, Mrs. Kate Kurtz, Van Pelt, and J.M. Dorsey settled here. Love Joy taught the school here in 1894. Their school building, in use as late as 1939, is now used as the Fleet Reserve Club (an enlisted men's club). This information from a book that was probably published in 1958. SUBMITTED BY: Michelle Keener.
