Gonzales

The county courthouse in Gonzales

Region: Prairies and Lakes

Often called the "Lexington of Texas" because first skirmish of Texas Revolution was fought here. Settled in 1825 by Green C. DeWitt, American impresario from Missouri, named for Rafael Gonzales (then governor of joint state of Coahuila-Texas); town was designed by Mexican government. Interestingly, streets were named for saints, and markers today show original plan. Current seat of Gonzales County, center of large pecan, cattle and poultry production.
