After years of trading goods and services, these businesses grew and soon offered their customers fresh roasted coffeebeans. Today, local roasters continue to offer great tasting, fresh-roasted coffee beans that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a morning pick me up or need an evening snack, you can't go wrong with local roasters like Roamers Coffee Company.
Fresh roasted coffee is a demanding, expensive and time-consuming process. The coffee beans are first roasted in small batches on site. Then they are transferred to a roasting warehouse for further processing and storage. After being stored for many months, the coffee is finally ready to be consumed.
The first coffee was roasted in Waxahachie, Texas in 1912.
Waxahachie is a town in Tarrant County, Texas, United States. The population was 3,581 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Fort Worth–Arlington–Dallas metropolitan area.
The first permanent settler in Waxahachie was James Hargrave who arrived on March 10, 1827. A post office called Waco was established in 1829 and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1836. The townsite that now makes up Waxahachie was platted by Major General John Buford on November 20, 1839. He named it after his uncle home from England Waxhaw (now Portsmouth). A number of small businesses were built along Elm Street during the 1840s and 1850s before large plantations began to arrive around cotton ginners' yards on Pine Bend Creek.
In 1861, Confederate General Braxton Bragg chose Waxahachie as his headquarters for operations against Union forces under President Abraham Lincoln following the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1865, Union General Ulysses S. Grant moved into Waxahachie after besieging Fort Worth and decided not to attack Dallas because he could march through town unimpeded without being met with resistance or encountering Confederate forces which would have made him vulnerable to capture or destruction at any time while retreated back northward. At this time most people living near Fort Worth lived south of I-10 so there wasn't much movement within the city limits except for occasional travelers passing through on their way to West Point or White Settlement east of Dallas. By 1870 about one-third of all residents in Tarrant County resided within 100 miles (160 km) ofHouston."Planning and Development - Houston and Tarrant counties
By 1880 approximately two-thirds of all Texans lived outside of Texas"Planning and Development - Houston and Tarrant counties
However due to railroad construction west of Austin beginning around this time many people did move away from rural areas towards urban centers such as Houston."Planning and Development - Houston and Tarrant counties
One major reason for this migration may have been the high cost associated with purchasing land outsideOf Texas.
