Texas Independence Day

Monday is Texas Independence Day! This celebrates the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836 which created the Republic of Texas and began our proud heritage of land ownership.

 It may seem strange, but when Texas was forming, there were only about 2500 settlers. To attract folks to the wild west, the Republic of Texas gave many forms of land grants.
