Indianola was an important port of Texas. Cargoes of ships were hauled to and from points
in Texas and Mexico by carts until 1860 when the San Antonio and Mexican Gulf Railroad
and the Indianola Railroad were completed to Victoria.

The town was partly destroyed with great loss of life by a hurricane on September 17, 1875.
It was rebuilt but completely destroyed by another hurricane on August 20, 1886 and
the town was abandoned.

The land it was on has been eroded by storms to the point it's now just a narrow strip of land
at the end of which there is a small fishing village that's considered to be a ghost town,
although it's well inhabited.

None of the original structures remain on the original town site, since most of it is now
underwater, but some of the those old original structures were moved inland and still exist.
