Gonzales, Texas
History
Gonzales was
established in 1825 on Kerr Creek, 2 1/2
miles east of the confluence of the San
Marcos and Guadalupe Rivers. It was the
capital of Empresario Green DeWitt’s
Colony and was the westernmost Anglo
settlement until the close of the Texas
Revolution. The town was named in honor
of Don Rafael Gonzales, provisional
Governor of Coahuila, Mexico and Texas.
During the
colonial period of 1825 to 1835 there
were many problems with the Comanche and
Tonkawa Indians. In 1831, the Mexican
government sent Gonzales a six-pound
cannon as protection against the
Indians.
This
cannon was used in the ‘Come and Take
It’ Battle on October 2, 1835, firing
the first shot in the Texas Revolution.
General Sam Houston, while in Gonzales,
learned of the devastating defeat of the
Alamo from Mrs. Almaron (Susannah)
Dickinson, who, with her baby and two
servants, survived the siege. After
learning of this event, General Houston
gathered troops and began the famous
‘Runaway Scrape’, gaining time and
mustering troops to eventually take a
stand at San Jacinto where Santa Anna
was defeated and Texas gained its
freedom from Mexico.
On
December 14, 1837, Gonzales County was
created by the legislature from the
DeWitt Colony, along with Guadalupe,
Caldwell, Coma, Lavaca, Fayette, DeWitt,
Victoria and Jackson counties. Gonzales
became a melting pot of ethnic
backgrounds, with Mexican families and
Mexican families who were long-time
residents of the area settling alongside
the members of Green DeWitt’s Colony .
The 1850s saw Germans and Czechs moving
into the area and African-Americans
coming with the development of
plantations.
The Civil
War period found about 20 volunteer
military companies organized in Gonzales
County. In 1863, the Confederate
government commissioned a fort to be
built in Gonzales as protection against
inland invasion by Yankee troops. Fort
Waul, C.S.A. an earthen embankment fort,
was located on a prominent hill north of
the city.
Cotton
was a king in the late 1800s and early
1900s. Cattle drives made their place in
Gonzales history, from the Civil War
until railroads took over the
transportation. Cow-and-calf operations
still play a vital role in today’s
economy while Gonzales is ranked as a
top producer of eggs, broilers and hens.
Other agricultural products from the
county are hogs, corn, grain, hay,
pecans, mushrooms and cactus and mineral
production includes bentonite clay,
sand, gravel, oil and gas.
