Day Trips: Lindenau Dance Hall, Cuero
The Lindenau Dance Hall is among the last remnants of a once thriving German farming community on the Coastal Plains five miles northwest of Cuero. The rolling hills were empty except for a few nomadic Karankawa Indians along the coast when empresario Green DeWitt was authorized by the Mexican government in 1825 to settle 400 families between the Guadalupe and Lavaca rivers. German immigrants began moving into what became DeWitt County in large numbers by the 1840s. By 1857 nearly half of the county’s population were Germans.
