Discover Corpus Christi

The Spanish explorer Alonso Alvarez de Pineda reached the bay in 1519 on the Feast of Corpus Christi and named it for the feast. Cabeza de Vaca and his companions may have been the first Europeans on its shores, but the first documented exploration of the Nueces River and the bay was made by Joaquin de Orobio y Basterra in 1747. In 1749 Jose de Escandon planned a colony of about 50 families, Villa de Vedoya, near the mouth of the Nueces, but drought and short supplies ended it before the settlers arrived. Later plans, including colonies proposed in the 1830s by Baron Johann von Rachnitz and the abolitionist Benjamin Lundy, also failed. Before 1836 the sheltered bay was used mainly by smugglers.

In 1839 Colonel Henry Lawrence Kinney and William P. Aubrey founded Kinney's Trading Post, the first known permanent settlement, which sold supplies to a Mexican revolutionary army camped about 25 miles west. General Zachary Taylor's troops camped there from July 1845 to March 1846 before the war with Mexico. The town took the name Corpus Christi and was incorporated on September 9, 1852. From August 12 to 18, 1862, Union ships blockading Texas fought the Battle of Corpus Christi, bombarding the city and defeating Confederate vessels, but their landing party was driven back. The Union secured the bay in 1864. The Port of Corpus Christi opened on September 15, 1926, after dredging led by Elihu Harrison Ropes. Congress ordered a naval air station built in 1938 to train pilots, and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi went into operation on March 12, 1941. Sources Wikipedia: Corpus Christi, Texas
