Explore the history of Matagorda. The town dates back to 1827 and is the third oldest town in Texas! You'll find historical markers throughout the town. Matagorda is home to the first Episcopal Church in Texas (Christ Episcopal Church established in 1839) and one of the oldest cemeteries in the state. It is the resting place of some of the Old 300 Settlers who arrived here with Stephen F. Austin, American Revolution and Texas War For Independence Heroes. Samuel Rhoads Fisher who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence is buried in Matagorda. His home, built in 1832, still stands.
