 The first attempt at incorporating Center Point came on August 9, 1889 for "school purposes" as cited in minutes of Kerr County Commissioners Court, Book D Pages 385-387.At the turn of the 20th century Center Point was a thriving trade center and remained so until like so many communities in America it became the victim of progress as the emergence of new highways passed it by.Once again, on March 1, 1913, Center Point voted itself an incorporated city, appointed a mayor, city clerk, commissioners’ health officer, and then, in October of the same year, dissolved itself by a popular vote of the people.
