Geschichte
Hackberry is an unincorporated area that formerly held a distinct community in Lavaca County, Texas, United States. It is located along Farm to Market Road 532 (FM 532) eleven miles northeast of Hallettsville. Its origins began in 1846 when Ludwig Von Neuhaus came from Germany to settle in Texas. He arrived at the midway point on the train from Houston and San Antonio. The town was named for a grove of nearby hackberry trees. Neuhaus farmed the property for several years and in 1853 opened esteem sawmill-gristmill. He added a cotton gin several years later. The town acquired a post office in 1862. A Methodist church was built in 1861 and doubled as a school until it burnt down in 1896. Neuhaus in 1865 had a general store, which he later rebuilt in 1880 as a two-story store. The iron shutters may have been used as a protection against bandits or Indians in the area.
