Victoria, Texas — According to state and local development sources, Victoria County plans to invest $35 Million to build out 37,000 square feet of new space in Victoria. The company plans to occupy the new space at TBD Big Bend Court in Victoria, on or about November 1, 2027. According to the company website, Victoria was among the original twenty-three counties established by the First Congress of the Republic of Texas on March 17, 1836. Its modern boundaries were defined by the Texas legislature on March 31, 1846. Conflicting claims between Victoria County and Lavaca, Jackson, and Calhoun counties were settled in Victoria’s favor on April 23, 1846, nineteen days after Calhoun County was demarked primarily from the Victoria County coastal area. Because Victoria lay on the important cart road from the port of Indianola to San Antonio and New Braunfels, as well as on the old Goliad road from east to west, the county was heavily traveled by traders and immigrants and populated by many who found the area satisfactory. Victoria County was in the First Congressional District under the Republic of Texas and the Second District when Texas entered the Union; it is currently in District Fourteen. By 1983 there were 68,807 people living in the county, 73.7 percent classified as urban, 30.35 percent Hispanic, 6.96 percent Black, and, with the exception of a handful of Asians, the rest White. Only 1,701 people were living on 965 farms. Cotton production in 1940, when gins were operated at Victoria, Guadalupe, Dacosta, Placedo, Raisin, Nursery, Telferner, Inez, Mission Valley, and Fordtran, was 9,121 bales; production fell to 2,200 bales by 1972, when most of the gins had been closed down. No cotton was recorded in 1982 or 1983. Still, Victoria County agriculture produced $33.5 million in 1982 from sorghums, rice, corn, beef cattle, hogs, and poultry. The significant increase in the stock-feeding industry after World War II lowered considerably the ranking of stock-raising counties such as Victoria in overall numbers of cattle. In 1984 Victoria County, with 69,000 head, still ranked in the top third statewide, but among the coastal counties ranked third, a more accurate indication of the county’s regional and local prominence.
