History


Seagoville was originally called Seago, and under the latter name was laid out in 1876 by T. K. Seago (1836–1904), and named for him. The United States Post Office changed the town's name to "Seagoville" in 1910 to prevent confusion with another city in Texas called Sego.[4]


During World War II, the Federal Reformatory for Women in Seagoville was the site of a Immigration and Naturalization Service detention camp for Japanese, German and Italian Americans classified as "enemy aliens" and women of Japanese and German ancestry deported from Latin America.[4][5] Internees at Seagoville published a German language newsletter called the Sägedorfer Fliegende Blätter.[6] The camp housed up to 647 people, and was closed in June 1945, after the internees were either "repatriated" to Japan or Germany, or transferred to Crystal City, Texas.[5][7]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 19.0 square miles (49.2 km2), of which 18.7 square miles (48.4 km2) is land and 0.31 square miles (0.8 km2), or 1.58%, is water.[9]

Government and infrastructure





Federal Correctional Institution, Seagoville


Federal Correctional Institution, Seagoville is located in Seagoville.


The United States Postal Service operates the Seagoville Post Office on Seagoville Road in Kleberg, Dallas.[12][13] It was previously located at 314 Glendale Avenue, in a rented facility in Seagoville.[13][14] Since circa 1882 there had been a post office in the Seagoville city limits. In 2011 the USPS announced that it was closing the existing Seagoville post office and consolidating it into the Kleberg Post Office, a USPS-owned facility since renamed to the Seagoville Post Office, citing cost-cutting reasons in response to a budget shortfall. Even though individuals had offered to pay for the rental costs at Seagoville the USPS insisted on closing the city post office. As of 2011 the Seagoville city post office was busier than the Kleberg one.[13]



Education



Primary and secondary schools



Public schools


Portions of Seagoville are within three separate independent school districts.[15]



Dallas Independent School District

Almost all of the Dallas County portion of Seagoville is served by the Dallas Independent School District. The area is within the Board of Trustees District 4.[16] Portions of Seagoville are zoned to Central Elementary School, Seagoville North Elementary School, and Seagoville Elementary School.[17] All of the city is zoned to Seagoville Middle School (6-8), and Seagoville High School (9-12).


Seagoville North Elementary School was scheduled to open in 2012.[18] Prior to 2012, the students in the Dallas County portion were zoned to Seagoville Elementary School (at the time, grades PK-2) and Central Elementary School (at the time, grades 3-5).


Seagoville Elementary, Seagoville North, and Central Elementary are within the Seagoville city limits, while Seagoville Middle and Seagoville High are in Dallas, near the city of Seagoville. Seagoville Alternative Center, an alternative school is within the city limits.


DISD maintains the Seagoville Stadium.[19]


Seagoville Independent School District was previously the town's school district. In 1965 the district was absorbed into the Dallas Independent School District.[4]



Crandall Independent School District

The minuscule Kaufman County portion is served by Crandall Independent School District. The students in the Crandall portion are zoned to Wilson Elementary School, Crandall Middle School, and Crandall High School. Wilson Elementary and Crandall Middle are within the city of Crandall. Crandall High is partially in Crandall and partially in unincorporated Kaufman County.



Mesquite Independent School District

A very small portion of northeast Seagoville is within the boundaries of Mesquite Independent School District. That portion is served by Achziger Elementary School, Terry Middle School, and John Horn High School (all three schools are in Mesquite).[20] The area was formerly zoned to Thompson Elementary School.[21]



History of schools

The first school established in Seagoville was the Brinegar School. The one room log school house, which featured split-log seating, was constructed around 1867 in the area of the modern-day Heard Park. Professor J.T. Doss built a new school building in 1880;[22] it was called Woodside. Another school opened in a four-frame building. A cyclone destroyed one of its rooms in 1903,[23] and in 1909 that school was destroyed in a fire. In 1910 a new brick high school building opened on the site of what is now Seagoville Elementary School.[22] The building, a two-story facility with four rooms for upper grades upstairs and four rooms for lower grades downstairs, on land on North Kaufman Street was donated by Ben H. Fly. It was built for about $10,000 ($262642.86 according to inflation), and was known as "The High School" and "the Old Red Schoolhouse".[24]


Seagoville High School first opened in 1928 on land purchased in 1927. This high school building later burned down, and Central Elementary School opened on the former high school site. The current high school facility and Seagoville Middle School opened on a 22-acre (8.9 ha) plot of land donated by M.D. Reeves in 1952: one building opened in 1955 and the other opened in September 1958. Seagoville was in the Seagoville Independent School District until August 1964, when it merged into DISD.[24]



Public libraries


Seagoville has its own public library called the Seagoville Public Library at 702 North U.S. Highway 175.[25]



Parks and recreation


The Dallas Independent School District operates the Seagoville Stadium in Seagoville.[26]
