In 1776, Texas was part of the Spanish colonial territory known as New Spain. During this time, the region was largely sparsely populated, with a mix of Indigenous peoples and Spanish settlers. The American Revolution was occurring to the east, inspiring various movements for independence, but Texas remained under Spanish control. The year also saw the beginnings of a more organized settlement pattern as Spanish authorities encouraged colonization to strengthen their hold on the territory.
