Historical Marker :Elihu Harrison Ropes

I chose Ropes historical marker because in class we read about Ropes but I wanted to learn more about him.  Ropes had big goals when first entering Corpus Christi . Ropes wanted a deep water gulf built and a railroad that ran from the port to the lower Rio Grande. Even though most of the ideas that Ropes had wanted were never put into full affect. His potential left Corpus to become more industrial.
