CLICK TO ENTER! Dickinson, Texas has an unusual history. Originally
popular in the 1800s because of its very fertile land, it became
known for producing a wide variety of fruits. Once the cities of
Galveston and Houston grew larger, the railroad (and then the
trolley line) reached the area. Dickinson evolved into a popular
recreational area.
One of those recreations was gambling. Dickinson
became a major hub for open gambling. In a tongue-in-cheek
reference to the Mason/Dickson Line, it was referred to as the Maceo/Dickinson Line*.
Numerous popular clubs like the "Town Country Club", the "4 Rose
Garden", and the "Emite Brothers Dickinson Card Club" sprang up.
These drew folks from the cities of Galveston
and Houston, for a little fun. The Texas Rangers shut down open
gambling
in all of Galveston County in 1957.
Since then, Dickinson has become an integral part of the
Houston/Galveston economic and cultural area. We are proud to be
