Seguin Hosts “World’s Largest Pecan”
Published Apr 14, 2008
It weighs a delicious 1,000 pounds, but it is not edible.
The self-proclaimed world’s largest pecan sits in front of Seguin City Hall in Texas.
The ceramic sculpture was the brainchild of a local dentist and was erected in 1962. The pecan is five feet long, 2 1/2 feet wide and weighs a little more than half a ton.
The unusual artistic landmark is dedicated to Cabeza de Vaca, a Spanish explorer who was held captive afloat for 10 years on the Guadalupe River, known then in the 1500s as the “River of Nuts.” The Spaniard thrived on a diet of local pecans.
