In 1939 a privately owned and operated Zoo, the Coxville Zoo, started business at the intersection of Yager and North Lamar [which, at the time, was the intersection of Coxville Road and the Dallas Highway] north of the city limits of Austin, Texas. The zoo delighted thousands of children for over 30 years. For many years Alvin Cox, the owner, made weekly television appearances on the "Uncle Jay" show sharing information about the uniqueness of animals. Opposition from the Humane Society and complaints from the River Oaks neighborhood forced the zoo to close in 1970. A few of the zoo's remains still stand in the woods behind a recently constructed building on North Lamar at Yager.
