Map To Gonzales, Texas
![]() |
Gonzales, the Lexington of Texas. In 1825 Green
DeWitt established a colony on the confluence of the Guadalupe and San Marcos Rivers.
Gonzales earned its place as the "Lexington of Texas" a decade later when
the first shot for Texas Independence was fired. Gonzales is the only remaining town
in Texas that has retained the same plan as surveyed by the Mexican Government in 1832.
Our town has two plazas, Confederate Square and Texas Heroes Square, with long
boulevards running North and South, East and West in the shape of a Spanish Cross.
Designating all property within the squares and boulevards as public lands and parks, many
settlers built their homes and churches around these public places.
We invite you to tour our town and some of the following attractions:
