After the 1900 Hurricane storm, Galvestonians got together to rebuild the Island. First, they built a Seawall, which is now known as the world’s largest Seawall.
In doing so, they hoped to raise the entire Island to the same level as the newly built Seawall. After they raised the Island, there was a need to plant trees to prevent the soil from eroding. That’s when thousands of German Oak trees were planted all over the Island to help prevent erosion. During Hurricane Ike in 2008, we lost many of these trees because of the flooding. The homeowners were emotionally attached to these trees and refused to cut them down.
