The First Kindergarten in Texas

was established by the Woman's Club of El Paso in 1892. Two years before formal organization, Mrs. Ernest Kohlberg, with the aid of Mrs. J. E. Townsend and Mrs. H. A. True advanced the idea.

Classes were held in Central School building. This was one of the club's many outstanding and continuing contributions to the civic and cultural advancement of our city.

Marker can be reached from East Mills Avenue near El Paso Streets.
