Sincerely,

Tim Lapham Austin County Judge

I am writing to welcome you to Austin County and to introduce myself as your County Judge. We are thrilled that you have chosen to make our community your new home, and we look forward to getting to know you better in the coming months and years.

As County Judge, it is my job to represent the interests of all of our residents in our community.

We are proud of our beautiful natural resources, our thriving local economy, and our strong sense of community; and we hope that you will quickly come to appreciate all that our county has to offer.

Whether you are interested in exploring our many parks and recreational facilities, shopping and dining in our charming downtown areas, or getting involved in one of our many civic organizations, there is something for everyone here in Austin County.

Once again, welcome to Austin County! We are excited to have you as a part of our community, and we look forward to seeing all of the great things you will accomplish here.

WELCOME TO SEALY

Sincerely,

Carolyn Bilski Mayor of Sealy

On behalf of the City of Sealy’s City Council and Staff, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our city. Our rich history began with the development of the railroad and of course our San Felipe neighbors, thanks to Stephen F. Austin. The early business community leaders were very wise platting our wide streets bordered by huge oak trees as well as providing for the residents’ daily needs that continued to migrate from European Countries by way of Galveston’s port. The steadfast work culture has endured through the generations as well as the love of social activities from music, bingo and church. Another example of our heritage is the historic Liedertafel famous round dance hall located in our own city where weddings and various gatherings continue. School and sport activities are ongoing year-round. Also, there are many good choices for local shopping as well as dining in or take-out.

The Location on Interstate 10 ( 40 miles west of downtown Houston) and State Highway 36 is convenient for commuters who prefer a less hectic lifestyle as well as business and commercial industries. The current City Council and Staff have been challenged with meeting the growth by providing a continued reliable infrastructure for water, sewer, gas, solid waste, streets, drainage and all public safety needs.

As a new or returning resident, I urge you to get involved and become part of the fabric of Sealy’s activities and ongoing heritage. Please stay informed on city business through the website www.ci.sealy.tx.us. Once again, welcome; we are pleased you have chosen to live in Sealy.

NEW RESIDENTS & BUSINESS OWNERS

ToriFisher

y r o t s i h e Th SEALY OF I

Above: Sealy’s wide downtown streets haven’t changed much at present day.

n order to extend a line from Galveston to Brenham and build a depot and railroad yard, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad purchased over 11,000 acres from the town of San Felipe de Austin in 1875. The Railroad established a town in 1879, naming it Sealy to honor Mr. George Sealy of Galveston who was a director of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad.

Sealy was truly a “railroad town.” Over time, the Railroad sold or donated land to various businesses and individuals. The Railroad donated land to Austin County to build a school and donated the local cemetery to trustees in 1887.

The newly formed town quickly developed into a commercial center. By 1900, Sealy’s population had grown to 1,400, and there were five general merchandise stores, seven saloons, a furniture store, a hardware store, two lumber businesses, two milliners shops, three dry goods stores, two renting stables, two bakeries, two blacksmiths, three pharmacies, three hotels, three doctors, lawyers, milliners and other thriving businesses.

However, a combination of natural and economic disasters

12

in 1899 and 1900 had a devastating effect on Sealy. The Brazos River flood in 1899 and the storm that struck Galveston on September 8, 1900 caused significant damage in Sealy, destroying two churches and damaging many businesses and homes. An earlier fire in 1898 destroyed all of the wood commercial buildings on Front Street between 2nd and Main Streets.

After the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad merged with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, the Railroad’s roundhouse and headquarters were moved to Bellville in 1900. The railroaders left and many of their homes fell into decay. The Old Central Hotel closed and the Lott Hotel was moved to Bellville.

Sealy continued to be an economic center due to wellestablished businesses including the Haynes Mattress Factory, the Sealy Broom Company, and the many tons of cotton grown and ginned in the Sealy area. With its location at the intersection of U.S. Hwy 90, and later I-10, and State Hwy 36, Sealy continued to grow to become the city we know today.

Krampitz has been in the business since 2010 while Fortune has been with Edward Jones since 2018.

“I have always wanted a career that my number one goal was to help people. I also have always enjoyed working with numbers, problem solving and finances. I realized this industry could provide all of these and went for it,” Krampitz said.

“I have always enjoyed being in the financial industry as a business owner previously but the final push was during a visit with my grandmother. My mother asked to see some of her grandmother’s family rings and hear stories about when she grew up. Come to find out, my grandmother had pawned the family heirlooms to cover

prescription and living costs because social security was not enough. She was either too proud to ask for help or didn’t think anyone would give her the time to talk since she wasn’t a millionaire. If I can help any family avoid what my grandmother went through, then I’m happy,” Cobb said.

Both credited their families as their biggest motivations each day.

“My family and the desire to help individuals simplify their finances,” Krampitz said.

“My family and being able to help others in our local community. Running into clients around town to chat,” Cobb said.

Krampitz said good customer service and doing the unexpected separates this office from others in the area.

“We take the time to truly understand what is most important to your family then structure a wholistic plan to achieve your goals,” Cobb said. “Finances and retirement are not something taught anymore so stop by for a cup of coffee, a handshake and a conversation.”

“We go the extra mile for all our clients. We realize each client has their own personal experiences, knowledge and needs. We want to be helpful where it is not just about managing their money but meeting their needs and concerns,” Krampitz said.

RVOS Insurance strives to meet all the needs of Austin County residents with homeowners insurance and flood insurance products.

RVOS insurance is located at 1234 Mixville Rd. Sealy with owner Kristin Callendar always available by phone, even after normal business hours and on weekends. Callendar can be reached at 979-633-8264 or via email at kannecallendar@gmail.com.

Callendar has been working in the insurance industry for seven years and was appointed as an RVOS agent in September of 2022.

Callendar got into the insurance industry as it had become a bit of a family business.

“My grandfather was an RVOS agent and my father, James Bilicek, was an RVOS agent for over 20 years. My father recently retired and I was honored to have his customers transferred to my agency,” Callendar said. “Every day I look forward to the

RVOS

opportunity to help customers find the best coverage at a great price, and being able to provide that quickly for them is the best part of my job.”

Callendar said because the insurance business is small-town, it appeals to residents.

“RVOS is a comparatively small, Texas-based insurance company and definitely embodies the motto “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” From

our home office staff, to our field adjustors to our local agents, we truly want the best for the customers that have put their trust in RVOS,” Callendar said.

When it comes to dealing with customers, Callendar said she relies on the words of her father.

“Working as a subagent for my father, he told me the one thing you have to remember in any situation is that you have to 100% be an advocate for your customers and go above and beyond to protect their interests. I love being an advocate for each of my customers and helping them not only acquire great coverage but also to understand their coverage,” Callendar said.

Callendar’s website is www.rvos. com, and her Facebook is Kristin Callender Insurance-RVOS Insurance.
