In the 18th century, Texas was part of the Spanish colonial territory, known as New Spain. It encompassed a vast area that included much of what is now the state of Texas, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the north and west into present-day New Mexico and beyond. The region was sparsely populated, primarily inhabited by various Indigenous tribes and a few Spanish missions and settlements. Officially, the land was recognized as part of the Spanish provinces, but its boundaries and governance were often fluid and poorly defined.
