Galveston’s History
Galveston Island was originally inhabited by members of the Karankawa and Akokisa tribes who used the name “Auia” for the island. The Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca and his crew were shipwrecked on the island or nearby in November 1528, calling it “Isla de Malhado” (“Isle of Doom”), and there began his famous trek to Mexico. During his charting of the Gulf Coast in 1785, the Spanish explorer José de Evia named the island Gálvez-town or Gálveztown in honor of Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid, Count of Gálvez. The first permanent European settlements on the island were constructed around 1816 by the pirate Louis-Michel Aury as a base of operations to support Mexico’s rebellion against Spain. In 1817, Aury returned from an unsuccessful raid against Spain to find Galveston occupied by the pirate Jean Lafitte. Lafitte organized Galveston into a pirate “kingdom” he called “Campeche”, anointing himself the island’s “head of government.” Lafitte remained in Galveston until 1821 when he and his raiders were forced off the island by the United States Navy.
