Gonzales County, located in the great state of Texas, was formed in 1836 during the revolution against Mexico, and it played a significant role in Texas' fight for independence. Named after its primary settlement, Gonzales, the county inherited its name from Coahuila y Tejas Governor Rafael Gonzales.
In 1825, the empresarios Green DeWitt and James Kerr established the DeWitt Colony in the region. Gonzales became the westernmost Anglo-American settlement in Texas at that time. DeWitt Colony played a critical part in Texas' push for independence by sending 32 of its residents to fight at the Battle of the Alamo. These brave residents became known as the Immortal 32, who sacrificed their lives for the cause of Texas' liberty.
A key event in Gonzales County's history was the Battle of Gonzales in 1835. Often referred to as the "Lexington of Texas," the battle began when Mexican forces tried to retrieve a cannon that had been given to the citizens of Gonzales by the Mexican government for their protection against Native American tribes. The local settlers refused to surrender the cannon, sparking the battle and ultimately leading to the initiation of the Texas Revolution.
Gonzales County continued to grow and prosper after Texas gained independence from Mexico in 1836. The county was formally established in 1846, and Gonzales was designated as the county seat. Agriculture and ranching flourished in the region with cotton, corn, and cattle being primary contributors to the economy.
A fun fact about Gonzales County is that it is known as the "Home of the Texas Come and Take It Cannon." The phrase "Come and Take It" is derived from the flag that the settlers of Gonzales created in response to the Mexican government's demand to return the cannon. The flag featured an image of the cannon and the now-iconic phrase, symbolizing the defiant spirit of the people of Gonzales and Texas in their quest for independence.
