Through a series of inheritances, San Marcos ultimately came under the authority of Germans and Dutchmen, who settled into the area. Following a rise in population, local Americans began moving in and slowly but surely, the city began to emerge as its modern self with the aid of development from the citizens.

Businesses began booming in the area and also saw a number of early educational institutes being setup, however the real growth for San Marcos came after 1956, when the Colorado River changed its path to include the city.
