The first group of American families to settle in Texas under a land grant was led by Stephen F. Austin in the early 1820s. These "Old Three Hundred," as they are often called, were granted land by the Mexican government in an effort to promote colonization. This group played a crucial role in the establishment of Anglo-American communities in Texas, laying the groundwork for future settlement and eventual conflict with Mexico. Their arrival marked the beginning of significant demographic and cultural changes in the region.
