July 28, 1887 the town of Yoakum was established. It was named in honor of B.F. Yoakum who became known for laying the most lines of track for the railroad of any individual and for the opening and development of Long Island. The railroad company built 600 miles of railroad with the main line running from San Antonio to Houston, and another two lines from Yoakum to Waco and Yoakum to Corpus Christi. As a result of the railroad the town's population grew rapidly.

The town was incorporated on May 13, 1889, with L.W. Thomas as mayor. By 1896 Yoakum had a cotton mill, three cotton gins, a compress, several churches, a bank, an ice factory, specialty and general stores two weekly newspapers and one daily, a school system with 700 pupils, and a population of 3,000.

Eventually the San Antonio and Aransas Pass line had problems and was bought by Southern Pacific. Railroad traffic continued to slow. To combat the problem, in 1925 the Chamber of Commerce encouraged the farmers to grow tomatoes. The project was a huge success that was celebrated in 1928 with the first TOM - TOM FESTIVAL.  The first commercial tomatoes in the Yoakum area were grown in 1926. By the 1940's, fifteen packing sheds in Yoakum shipped tomatoes north, and the town was sometimes called the tomato capital of south central Texas.

SPECIAL NOTE: Kays Finds  Bargain Day was held on May 3rd 2014.  It was a huge success! We wanted to say Thank You for coming out and supporting all of us and thanks for all the people who helped out.   We started the Bargain Day twice a year to "blow out" older inventory to make room for new items.  We do it twice a year - spring and fall.  This year we wanted to give other people a chance to sell their stuff - for free- at our sale just to give our customers more of a variety and pull the community together.  Two other individuals did setup and sold their various items and one group did raise some money for kids to go to summer camp.   Most of everything was sold!  

Once again, Kays Finds would like to say Thank You for making a great Bargain Day.        GOD BLESS!!!

 

                                                                       See you Fall 2014!!!
