Aloe is an unincorporated community in Victoria County, Texas, United States. The community is located along U.S. Route 59, southwest of Victoria. The community was established in 1889, when the Gulf, Western Texas & Pacific Railroad built a line through the area; it was named for the abundance of local yucca plants. Aloe Army Airfield opened in the community during World War II; after the war, it operated as Victoria County Airport until 1960.[1]
