Inscription. Capital-Austin

Spain established several missions and controlled the region until 1821 when Mexico gained its independence. At that time, the United States reached agreement with Mexico allowing Americans to colonize the territory, and Stephen Austin brought settlers to the region, primarily from the southeast. Conflicts between settlers and the Mexican government led to a war in 1836. Texas won its independence and remained as the separate Republic of Texas until its admission as a state.
