Brownsville, TX - In 1845,
construction of a fort on the Mexican border was
commissioned, due to increased instability in the
region. Before completion, the Mexican Army began the
Siege of Fort Texas, during the first active campaign in
the Mexican-American War, between May 3-9, 1846. The
first battle of the war occurred on May 8, 1846, when
General Zachary Taylor received word of the siege of the
fort. They rushed to help, but were intercepted,
resulting in the Battle of Palo Alto about 5 miles north
of present-day Brownsville. The next morning the Mexican
forces had retreated, and Taylor's troops caught up with
them, resulting in the Battle of Resaca de la Palma,
which was fought within the present city limits. When
Taylor finally arrived at the besieged Fort Texas, it
was found that 2 soldiers had died, one of which was the
fort's commander, Major Jacob Brown. In his honor,
General Taylor renamed the fort Fort Brown. An old
cannon at the University of Texas at Brownsville and
Texas Southmost College marks the spot where Major Brown
was fatally wounded.

Contrary to popular belief, however, there is few, if
any, evidence that said Fort was called "Fort Texas". In
fact, most official correspondence from the time
describes the fort as "camp near Matamoros"
The city of
Brownsville was originally established late in 1848 by
Charles Stillman, and was made the county seat of the
new Cameron County on January 13, 1849. The city was
originally incorporated by the state on January 24,
1850. This was repealed on April 1, 1852, due to a land
ownership dispute between Stillman and the former
owners. The state reincorporated the city on February 7,
1853, which remains in effect. The issue of ownership
was not decided until 1879, when the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled in favor of Stillman.

his arrest in 1875. The First Cortina War ended on
December 27, 1859. In May 1861, the brief Second Cortina
