Berclair is a small place in Goliad County, Texas, in the United States. It is called an unincorporated community. This means it does not have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it is managed by the county. Berclair is also part of the larger Victoria, Texas area.
Discovering Berclair's Past
Berclair started as a community in 1889. This was an important year because a railroad line was built and reached this spot. Railroads were like the highways of the past. They helped new settlements grow by connecting them to other places.
How Berclair Got Its Name
The name "Berclair" is quite unique! It was created by combining two names: Bert and Clair. These were the first names of two local ranchers, Bert and Clair Lucas. It's a cool way to remember the people who lived there long ago.
