Refugio. It changed its name on January 28, 1823, the date of the actual founding
of the city, with 3860 Spaniards and indians. There were Englixh, French and
Irish merchants as well as Americans. Fort Taylor was built across the Rio
Grande river in 1846 and renamed Fort Brown the same year. Later Brownsville
was founded. It served as a base of U.S. Operations in the Mexican War.
