History

Old Soledad stood in what is now Nacogdoches and was well known across East Texas before 1800 as the trading headquarters of William Barr and Peter Samuel Davenport, whose House of Barr and Davenport was licensed by Spanish officials to trade with Louisiana and area Indian nations from 1798. The firm operated out of Antonio Gil Ibarvo's stone house, and a state marker was placed at the site in 1936.
