Question: What town in Texas claims the title “Spinach Capital of the World”?
Answer: Crystal City. Incorporated in 1910, the county seat of Zavala County reportedly began producing spinach in the 1930s, thanks in part to the popularity of the cartoon character Popeye. In 1936, the town organized its first annual spinach festival, and a statue of Popeye was erected across from city hall the following year.
