Seagoville, TX Cash Advance and Title Loans

In 1876, Mr. T. K. Seago constructed and opened a general store in what is now modern day Seagoville, TX. Over the next several years, additional structures were built around the general store and a small town began to appear with the general store as its centerpiece. In honor of Mr. Seago’s store, this new town became known as Seago, TX. After the turn of the century, there were two cities in Texas that shared similar sounding names - Seago, TX and Sego, TX, which caused great confusion with mail delivery. In 1910, in order to end the confusion once and for all, the US Post Office decided to rename Seago, TX into Seagoville, the name that still stands to this very day.
