In Port Arthur,Texas on November 4th, 1881 a group of men gathered to form the Texas Rifle Association. The purpose of this organization was to promote and protect the rights of gun owners in the state. The rifle association organized a shoot at the town square, which was successfully completed. This event is considered to be one of the first public shootings in Texas. Gun targets have been used as shooting locations throughout history in Port Arthur. One such location is now known as “The Square” and has served as a popular spot for target practice ever since.
A gun target is an effective way to improve your shooting skills. A gun target gives you a target that is close enough to where you can make good hits, but also far enough away so that you don't hit yourself. Gun targets are typically made out of different materials such as cardboard, plastic, or metal, so they are adjustable to fit whatever size shooter you are. There are many different types of guns available on the market, so it's important that you find a target that best suits your needs.
The first gun battle in the town of Port Arthur, Texas took place on July 6, 1876. The battle was fought between Confederate forces and Union troops.
Port Arthur is a town in Harris County, Texas, United States. The population was 11,898 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Austin–Round Rock metropolitan area. The first settler in what is now Port Arthur was J.D. Hogg on November 1, 1836. He and his family were the first to live in what is now Port Arthur when land grants were issued to them by President James K. Polk in February 1845 as part of the Land Grant Act of 1848. The name "PortArthur" had been given to the town by General Sam Houston because he thought it would be an ideal site for a military post due to its strategic location on the Red River and its abundance of cotton culture potentials. In 1870, Jameson Doolittle purchased 640 acres (250 ha) northeast of present-day Port Arthur from David Lloyd Garrison for $10,000 and began developing it into what became Doolittle Field Airport which served areas north and east of Austin until it closed in 1974 after many years of use as an agricultural airport with no commercial passenger service operations during that time period; however, parts still stand today including portions of John F Kennedy International Airport south southeast of downtown Austin which are known as "Doolittle's Alley." When Fort Worth and Dallas merged their city governments on December 15, 1907 they created a newHarris County - with Port Arthuren included within it - named for then-Governor Richard Moyle who had helped merge these two municipalities into one entity under Governor George Wickersham upon taking office on January 3rd, 1906. Afterserving as county commissioner from 1911 through 1915 under Manuel López de Gortari before becoming governor himself in 1923 he again served as county commissioner until his death on November 13th 1925 at age 83 years old.
