Everything about Velasco Texas totally explained
Founded in 1831,
Velasco is situated on the east side of the Brazos River in southeast
Texas,
United States. It is sixteen miles south of
Angleton, Texas, and four miles from the
Gulf of Mexico.
The town's early history is closely tied with the
Texas revolution. Velasco was an important entry point for American settlers in Texas. In 1836 following the decisive
battle of San Jacinto, Velasco was made the first capital of the
Republic of Texas by
President David G. Burnet. In fact, five towns in Texas held that honor until
Austin was finally chosen.
With an estimated population of 4,000 in 1956, Velasco was incorporated with
Freeport, Texas, on
July 27,
1957. The community then became part of the Brazosport port and industrial area and the Brazosport Independent School District.
