The French primarily settled in areas of Texas such as San Antonio and Nacogdoches. They established missions and trading posts, with notable sites including the Presidio La Bahía and Fort Saint Louis near Matagorda Bay. The French influence was significant in the early history of Texas, particularly during the 17th and 18th centuries, although their settlements were eventually overshadowed by Spanish and later Anglo-American colonization.

Stephen F. Austin began to settle Texas while it was still under Mexican rule by bringing the "Old 300," a group of 300 families, to the region. In the early 1820s, he received a land grant from the Mexican government to establish a colony, which helped to promote American settlement in Texas. Austin's efforts laid the groundwork for the eventual influx of settlers and the growth of towns in the area.
He took the first group of settlers to Texas to settle.
