The colonial and territorial days in Texas refer primarily to the period from the late 17th century to the mid-19th century when the region was under Spanish and then Mexican control. Initially, Spanish explorers and missionaries established settlements, with significant growth occurring during the 18th century as the Spanish sought to secure their claims against French encroachment. Following Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821, Texas became part of the newly formed nation, leading to increased American settlement and tensions over governance and slavery. This tumultuous period ultimately culminated in the Texas Revolution in 1836 and Texas's subsequent annexation to the United States in 1845.
