The new settlement of Nacogdoches, situated on the traces of an
east-west Hasinai Indian trail, which after 1714 became a part of
the Old San Antonio Road, quickly developed into a trading and
smuggling center with French-controlled Louisiana. |
|
The Municipality of Nacogdoches was given jurisdiction over the
region between the Neches and Sabine rivers. In 1831 Nacogdoches
became a political department, and in 1834 a third department,
Brazos, was added. The Department of Nacogdoches covered most of
present East Texas, extending from Anahuac and the Trinity River in
the south and west, to the Red River in the north, and east to
Louisiana. Located on one of the principal routes of immigration
from the United States, Nacogdoches developed into a leading entry
way for Anglo immigrants, earning the title "Gateway to Texas." |
 |
|
The area east of the Trinity River was designated Nacogdoches County
on March 17, 1836. In April 1846 the county was further subdivided
into what would eventually become all or part of twenty other
counties. In June 1837 the city of Nacogdoches was officially
incorporated with an aldermanic government. |
