On June 26, 1832 Henry Smith and John Austin led a group of about 100 Texians against the Mexican Garrison at Fort Velasco on the mouth of the Brazos River. Commander Ugartechea surrendered the fort on June 29 after his force ran out of ammunition. This was a prelude to the Texas Revolution that would begin four years later.
The cache has been placed by the property owner with all the permissions needed from the Brazoria County Sheriffs Department, Brazoria County Civil DA's office and Facilities Management.
