Historical Notes
Fowlerton lies on the Frio River in eastern La Salle County. Commercial onion culture began near Cotulla in the 1890s and spread through the Winter Garden plain; artesian-well failures and drought ruined many Fowlerton settlers after 1916. This entry documents the Frio River reach at Fowlerton. Related entry: "Fowlerton Winter Garden Bust Cache — La Salle County" covers the broader land-boom context in the Cotulla-area import. Coordinates mark Fowlerton on the Frio River in La Salle County.
