Galveston County, Texas
.Galveston County, located in the southeastern part of the great state of Texas, was established in 1838 by the Republic of Texas. The county was named after Bernardo de Galvez, a Spanish colonial governor and general who aided the American colonies in their fight for independence from Great Britain. Galveston County is nestled along the Gulf of Mexico, covering approximately 873 square miles of land and water.
The region has attracted settlers from the early 1800s and is deeply rooted in history, particularly the city of Galveston. Being one of Texas' largest ports, the city once thrived as a major center for commerce, immigration, and tourism. In fact, it was one of the busiest immigration ports in the nation during the 19th century, earning it the nickname "Ellis Island of the West."
Tragedy struck Galveston County on September 8, 1900, when a Category 4 hurricane hit and caused massive devastation, known as the Great Galveston Hurricane. This disaster claimed around 6,000 - 12,000 lives and is considered the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. The city was rebuilt with a 17-foot seawall and raised its elevation to protect against future storms.
Today, Galveston County remains an important center for the petrochemical industry, maritime shipping, and tourism. The county has a rich cultural heritage, accompanied by popular tourist attractions such as the Historic Strand District, Moody Gardens, and Galveston Island State Park.
Fun Fact: The Galveston County Courthouse, built in 1897, originally housed a courthouse, jail, and sheriff's residence all in the same building. This unique arrangement allowed the sheriff to work, live, and keep an eye on the jailed prisoners, all under one roof!
