No community in Texas has a more fascinating history than Gonzales. This publication provides an overview of the vital role Gonzales played in the fight for Texas independence. As the location of the first shot fired for Texas independence, it became known as the “Lexington of Texas.” It was where the infamous “Come and Take It” flag was fashioned and the only community to send men to the aide of the Alamo.
