Washington on-the-Brazos Texas



         


Washington-on-the-Brazos was a settlement along the Brazos River in Texas, then part of Mexico, which was the site of the Convention of 1836 and the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence.

The settlement was later abandoned and is now a state historic park.

The name "Washington-on-the-Brazos" was meant to distinguish the settlement from "Washington-on-the-Potomac".
