History
Riesel, Texas, named after W.H. Riesel, one of the original settlers who built a Cotton gin there, has been growing steadily since being settled around 1880–1890.[2] With the exception of a small decrease from 1930 to 1950, Riesel's population has continued to grow to a point where the town currently has over 1,000 residents.[3]
A new power plant has increased city funds and the population. In early May, 2010, voters approved a $25,000,000 bond for the Riesel Independent School District that would build a new high school, administration building, and softball and baseball fields, among other things.[4]
Before Riesel, the town was formerly known as Roddy and then Prospect.[5][6]
