He traveled to Mexico City in 1822-1823 to secure Mexican recognition of the Spanish grant. This done, he colonized the 300 families, as well as an additional 750 families under subsequent contracts.

Where was Stephen F Austin buried?
Stephen F Austin was originally buried in Houston Texas but was moved to ausin shortly after. He is current interred in the Austin Memorial Park. No, he was buried at Gulf Prairie Cemetary in Jones Creek, Texas, (at a farm called Peach Point owed by his brother in law) which is in present day Brazoria County, the area where his first group of colonists settled. The first capital of Texas, Velasco, is also in this county, which is the birthplace of what would became the Republic of Texas. In 1910, Austin was exhumed and moved to the city of Austin so they could claim him because the city is named in his honor. Texas has a rich history and not all of it is related to Houston and Austin, which are both relatively new cities compared to the rest of the state.
