Weesatche was founded around the year 1850 under the name of Middletown, being halfway between Clinton and Goliad, and its post office was established on 1855-11-22. However, confusion with a Middletown in Comal County led locals to rename the community after the sweet acacia tree; the community's name is a corruption of the plant's alternate name, huisache. A post office under the name of Weesatche was opened in May 1860; although it closed during the Civil War, it was restored in 1870.[4]
Public servicesedit
Local children have attended the schools of the Goliad ISD since Weesatche's schools were consolidated into that district in 1963. The community has a volunteer fire department.[4]
