About Umbarger, Texas

Umbarger is a community of 123 people in Randall County, on U.S. Highway 60 about 10 miles southwest of Canyon. Rancher S. G. Umbarger leased the land in 1895 out of survey lands held by the Houston and Great Northern Railroad. He bought it two years later and set up a wagonyard, repair shops and a hostelry where travelers and new settlers could stop.

The Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway put in a switch near his ranch in 1898. Umbarger sold the ranch and moved to Canyon in 1900, but the settlement kept his name. Eighty people lived there in 1930 and 150 by 1940. The local school district, formed in 1904, merged with Canyon's in 1964.

  • German Catholics in 1902In 1902 Pius Friemel moved north with his family and several neighbors from around Schulenburg, in south central Texas, and together they began Umbarger's German Catholic community. A general store with a post office opened soon after. Father Joseph Reisdorff, a Catholic missionary, worked to bring more German families, and Swiss immigrants followed from 1911 into the late 1920s.
  • Two plans, two churchesIn 1908 Father Reisdorff and John Hutson, an Englishman who had bought up land around Umbarger, each filed his own plan for the settlement. The rivalry ended with two separate Catholic churches. The business district grew up on Reisdorff's side, north of the tracks, and St. Mary's Church was later moved to its present site while Father John J. Dolje led the parish.
  • Art by prisoners of warDuring World War II, Italian prisoners from the Hereford Military Reservation and Reception Center, not far from town, painted the murals, carved the woodwork and made the stained glass windows inside St. Mary's Catholic Church. One of them, Dino Gambetti, later worked as an artist in Italy, and he is remembered for urging another prisoner, Alberto Burri, to take up art.
  • Sausage Festival every NovemberEach November the town holds its German Sausage Festival at St. Mary's Parish Hall. The Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge, along with Buffalo Lake itself, lies three miles south of Umbarger.
