History
The city was originally named Marcelina when it was established in 1886 for employees of the railway between San Antonio and Aransas Pass, but renamed in 1901 for Arnold H. Poth, who owned a cotton processing business.
In 1970, the city made national news when almost all of its citizens (more than 1,100 out of 1,296) agreed to be inoculated with the oral polio vaccine when one of the city's children contracted polio.
