Calhoun County, Texas
Calhoun County has been
welcoming visitors to its shores since 1519 when Spanish
explorer Alonzo Alvarez de Peneda cruised through its seven
bays. Port Lavaca (Calhoun County) is located near the center
point of the 375-mile Texas Gulf Coast and provides a coastal
retreat to many of the urban areas of Texas. More than half of
the surface area of Calhoun County (500 miles of shoreline) is
covered with water offering fresh seafood, Gulf and bay beaches
and cool sea breezes. The natural port on
Matagorda Bay was used to expand Texas missions and
garrisons for more than 200 years,
and today these navigable waters
serve as an attraction for
commerce, industry and recreation.
