Port Aransas, Texas — According to state and local development sources, City of Port Aransas plans to invest $9,000,000.00 to build out 14,013 square feet of new space in Port Aransas. The company plans to occupy the new space at 710 W. Ave A in Port Aransas, on or about October 1, 2024. According to the company website The town of Mustang Island was called Ropesville by the early 1890s but changed its name to Tarpon by 1899 because of the large numbers of the fish being caught in its waters. The population at that time was about 250. Citizens began calling their town Port Aransas about 1910. The storm of 1919 virtually wiped out the town except for a few structures. At the turn of the century, the village was doing big business in sea turtle export with some catches weighing up to 500 pounds. They were shipped live, on their backs, to market. It is estimated that some 600+ species of saltwater fish inhabit the waters off the islands.
