Driscoll was founded on land donated by siblings Robert and Clara Driscoll and was originally part of the famed Driscoll Ranch.
Robert, owner of Driscoll Ranch, and his sister, Clara, known as the Savior of the Alamo for her part in restoring the historical structure, took a keen interest in the citizens of this area.
Since its beginnings, Driscoll has been home to special people. Ensconced in its rural surroundings, Driscoll still nurtures virtues which have become extinct in other places. Whether it be fire, flood, or personal heartache, the people of Driscoll pull together to help each other through trying times. The population has waxed and waned over the years, yet the heart of Driscoll has always been her citizens.
