The lighthouse that now stands at Bolivar point was
first lighted for mariners in 1872 and was painted with distinctive
black and white horizontal bands to provide a distinctive daymark. It
withstood two of the worst storms ever recorded on the Texas Gulf Coast
- hurricanes in 1900 and 1915. It was in use for 61 years before being
retired in 1933.
