Joe & Nic's Road Trip | The Most Sacred, Historical Town In Texas - What I Saw In GOLIAD @JoeandNicsRoadTrip | Uploaded 5 months ago | Updated May 08 2024
I visited the historic town of Goliad, Texas.
This small city is home to many historical events:
The Battle Of Goliad (1835)
The Goliad Massacre (1836)
The first signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence at the Loreto Chapel
The birthplace of legendary Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza, whose successful battle against a far larger French Army is now remembered as Cinco de Mayo.

The town is named after a Mexican priest, Father Hidalgo. Hidalgo ignited Mexico's War of Independence from Spain and is Mexico's equivalent to George Washington. The name Goliad is an anagram of Hidalgo.

The Angel Of Goliad, a young Mexican woman, was responsible for saving many Texian lives at Goliad.

The Presidio la Bahia was built in 1749 by the Spanish Army and is the site of the second Texas Revolutionary Battle.

The notorious "Hanging Tree" still stands in the city's main square, next to the beautiful Goliad County Courthouse, built in 1894.

The gravesite of Colonel James Fannin and his men, massacred at Goliad, lies a few feet away from the Presidio.
