Port of Victoria

The Port of Victoria: A Concise History tells the story of navigation on the Guadalupe River, and the ultimate construction of a man-made barge canal linking Calhoun and Victoria counties to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Furthermore, it is a story of visionary individuals who overcame a variety of obstacles to provide a brighter economic future for their communities. These far-sighted leaders epitomized what a loveable lady once advocated: “Those who do will find a way. Those who do not will find an excuse.”
