About Corpus Christi, Texas

Corpus Christi is a coastal city in the U.S. state of Texas. Cabeza de Vaca and his companions may have been the first Europeans to reach Corpus Christi in the 1500s, the first documented exploration of the Nueces River and Corpus Christi Bay was conducted by Joaquín de Orobio y Basterra in 1747. Various sections of Corpus Christi maintain distinct senses of identity and community from the city proper, especially the Calallen and Flour Bluff areas. (Wikipedia)
