Lamar is a small, unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Aransas County , Texas , United States, 10 miles (16 km ) north of Rockport and 40 miles (64 km ) north of Corpus Christi . As of the 2010 census it had a population of 636.[1] Mirabeau B. Lamar , the second president of the Republic of Texas . This was a new CDP for the 2010 census .[2]
Lamar was founded in 1839 at Lookout Point, on the channel entrance to Copano Bay . President Lamar agreed to relocate the custom house here, and the town thrived as a port and the site of a salt works. This prosperity ended abruptly on February 11, 1864, when the town was bombarded and practically obliterated by the Union Navy .
For most of the 20th century the population was less than 200, but by the 2010 census it was over 600. The restored cemetery is a Texas historical landmark. Goose Island State Park is within the CDP.
