Schroeder Hall   /   Goliad
est. 1890

   Schroeder is located in northeastern Goliad County and was originally settled by German immigrants in the 1840's. The first dance hall was constructed in 1890 and when a new school opened the same year as Germantown School, the community became known as Germantown. In 1918, as aresult of anti-German sentiments aroused by World War 1, the 35 residents of Germantown renamed the community Schroeder, in honor of the first townsman killed in the war, Paul Schoeder.
   Entertainers who have performed at Schroeder have included Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Mel Tillis and Tammy Wynette as well as the Glenn Miller Orchestra and the Marshall Tucker Band. Roy Clark played his first show as a profeesional here. Cross Canadian Ragweed, Pat Green and the Randy Rogers Band have also played here.
