History
Sinton was established in the late 19th century after the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway extended into San Patricio County in 1886. Colonel George W. Fulton, representing the Coleman-Fulton Pasture Company, donated land along Chiltipin Creek for the creation of a new town, which was named after David Sinton, a major shareholder in the company. A post office was opened in 1888, though it was discontinued just 4 years later. By 1894, the town had been officially organized and chosen as the county seat.
