History
Stephen William Blount (1808-1890), a Georgia native who settled at San Augustine in 1835, was one of the town's three delegates to the Convention of 1836 and a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. His home, the Stephen W. and Mary Blount House on East Columbia Street, was built about 1839 by builder Augustus Phelps and expanded in the 1850s. Blount served as San Augustine County's first county clerk and later as the town's postmaster; a state marker to his home was placed in 1936.
