Great Southwest Corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Southwest Corporation, officially abbreviated as GSC was a real estate development company established in January 1956 for the specific creation of the Great Southwest Industrial District.[2] While developing a side project for the industrial district, a theme park originally to be named Great Southwestland, it opened in 1961 as Six Flags Over Texas. The park was a massive success, and caused the course of the company to shift, focusing on recreational real estate rather than industrial properties.
