Harris County, Texas |
|
|
Harris County is a Southeastern Texas county. Harris County was
named for John Richardson Harris, who first arrived in this area
in 1824. He settled on land at the junction of Bray's and
Buffalo bayous (now a part of Houston). In 1825 the city of
Harrisburg was laid out. On December 30, 1835, the General
Council created the Harrisburg Municipality and designated the
town as the seat of its government. On April 21, 1836 the Battle
of San Jacinto was fought in what is now Harris County. This was
the deciding battle of the war between what would become the
Republic of Texas and Mexico. In 1836 the name of the area was
changed to Harrisburg County. In 1839 the name was again changed
to Harris County. |
