Tejanos, or Texans of Mexican descent, began migrating to what is now the United States in significant numbers during the 19th century, particularly after Texas gained independence from Mexico in 1836. However, their roots in the region date back much earlier, as they are descendants of Spanish settlers who established colonies in Texas during the late 17th and 18th centuries. The migration continued throughout the 19th century, especially during and after the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the subsequent annexation of Texas.
