Corsicana

Founded in 1848, Corsicana was named by Texas Revolution hero José Antonio Navarro after the Mediterranean island of Corsica, the birthplace of his parents. There are many high quality apartments in Corsicana . Discovered in 1894 by accident, the nearby Corsicana Oilfield was the first commercially significant oilfield in Texas. Corsicana is also the home of the Collin Street Bakery, which has been serving the town with delicious fruitcakes since 1896. Corsicana was originally centered near a log tavern built in 1847 and owned and operated by Rev. Hampton McKinney. The town's economy suffered a serious setback during the Civil War and the early Reconstruction years, but by the beginning of 1870s business had begun to recover. Corsicana has a healthy mix of 1 bedroom apartments, 2 bedroom apartments, and 3 bedroom apartments By the early 1890s the rapidly expanding city had outgrown its water supply, and the following year civic leaders formed the Corsicana Water Development Company with the aim of tapping a shallow artesian well in the area. Drilling began in the spring of 1894; but instead of water, the company hit a large pocket of oil and gas. The find—the first significant discovery of oil west of the Mississippi River—led to Texas's first oil boom. The first oil refinery in the state was built in 1897, and by 1898 there were 287 producing wells in the Corsicana field. Corsicana has loft apartments, townhouse style apartments, and apartments with hardwood or concrete flooring.

Since then Corsicana has been blessed with a successful economy, benefiting its residents with job security and prosperity.
