More about Victoria
During the Texas Revolution the town sent soldiers and supplies to the revolutionary forces, but after James Fannin's defeat at the Battle of Coleto, Mexican forces occupied it. After Santa Anna's defeat at San Jacinto, Anglo settlers drove out the town's Mexican residents and renamed it Victoria. In 1840 a Comanche raid on nearby Linnville killed many people, and a cholera outbreak struck in 1846.
In the mid-19th century the city gained a large population of European immigrants, especially Germans. By 1900 it was growing rapidly as a regional trade center, helped by its closeness to Gulf Coast ports and to Austin, Corpus Christi, Houston and San Antonio and by agriculture and petrochemical industries. Texas A&M University-Victoria began in 1971 as the University of Houston-Victoria Center. The city lies on the coastal plain about 50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.
