Nacogdoches

Few cities in Texas have a history as closely tied to the Spanish colonial frontier as Nacogdoches. Set in East Texas's Piney Woods, the city grew beside Lanana Creek on routes long used by the Caddo people and later formalized as El Camino Real de los Tejas. Spanish officials founded the settlement in 1779, a beginning behind its claim as Texas's oldest town. Downtown's brick streets and restored buildings evoke its nineteenth-century mercantile era, while Stephen F. Austin State University gives the city a working campus rhythm. The Sterne-Hoya House Museum preserves a residence begun in the 1830s and links local history to the Republic of Texas period.
