Major Sidney A. Sweet, a former San Augustine contractor and architect, settled in Sabine Pass in 1846, and he soon bought one half of the Sabine townsite. In the same year, he erected a steam sawmill, known as S. A. Sweet and Company, as well as a sash and door factory, and a shipyard. Sweet was the first East Texan, who floated log rafts down the Sabine River and then towed them across Sabine Lake to his sawmill site. (copied)
