The Texas Revolution began in Gonzales in 1835 due to tensions between the Mexican government and Anglo American settlers. Mexican President Santa Ana's dictatorship led to conflict, with Mexican troops sent to confiscate a cannon in Gonzales. The citizens of Gonzales resisted, leading to a standoff and eventual battle where the Texans flew the 'Come and Take it' flag. The Mexicans retreated, marking the start of the revolution. Gonzales is proud of its role in this history, with the flag still a prominent symbol in the town.
