Founded by 1873, Van Alstyne is a close-knit, patriotic, religious, hardworking, and progressive-minded community. Surrounded by prime farmland, Van Alstyne thrived as a center for cotton ginning. In addition to railroad service, a far-ranging interurban line enhanced Van Alstyne's transportation system for 40 years. The Van Alstyne Grays, a semiprofessional team that placed its stars into baseball's big leagues, represented the national pastime. The town's former opera house still stands, and so do other Victorian commercial buildings and homes--tangible reminders of a classic American town that continues to offer the amenities of a comfortable community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcadia Publishing (SC)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890817220759,"sku":"9781467130776","price":1764.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781467130776.webp?v=1781181454","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/van-alstyne-9781467130776","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
