Additional Information
American settlers arrived in Nacogdoches in the early 1820s and began establishing communities in the city, many of which exist to this day. In the years leading up to the Texas Revolution in 1836, many prominent Texans called Nacogdoches home, including Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, and David Crockett. The small town bears a unique place in the development of Texas’ history as it has been under more flags than the State itself and was central to the early political and cultural development of Texas as a Republic and eventually a State when it was brought into the Union in 1845.
This depiction of the city shows it and the State of Texas in a period of relative prosperity and growth following the conclusion of the American Civil War. The international port in Galveston was spurring economic growth as thriving markets in Kansas City, and Chicago continued the State’s iconic cattle ranching industry. By 1881 Nacogdoches remained a primarily agrarian city as nearby Houston became a central hub for manufacturing, milling, and rail transportation. Nacogdoches County comprises the metropolitan region, and the town is the County Seat which was officially established in 1837.
This map’s minimal style and classic aesthetic distinguish it from other depictions of the era, such as panoramic maps, and it provides concrete historical data on how the city and county developed as the Nation approached the turn of the century. The latter portions of the nineteenth century marked significant advances in technology as the Industrial Revolution boomed.
