History

The area was originally settled by architect Andrew Ammann in 1870.

From 1876, a number of business were established, along with a Catholic church, post office and a school.{{cite web |title=Ammannsville, TX |url=https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/ammannsville-tx |website=tshaonline.org |access-date=2 December 2023}}

St John the Baptist church was destroyed in 1909 by a hurricane. The church was rebuilt, but was destroyed by fire eight years later. The church was rebuilt in 1919. The church is known as 'the pink church' due to its interior being painted the color of cotton candy.{{cite web |title=St. John the Baptist Catholic Church |url=https://austinpbs.org/paintedchurches/ammansville |website=austinpbs.org |access-date=2 December 2023}}
