CORPUS CHRISTI

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 193 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORPUS CHRISTI , a city and the county-seat of Nueces county,
Texas
 , U.S.A., situated on Corpus Christi Bay opposite the mouth of the Nueces river, 192 M. W.S.W. of Galveston and about 150 M. S.S.E. of San Antonio. Pop. (189o) 4387; (1900) 4703, including 963 foreign-born and 46o negroes; (191o) 8299. It is served by the National of
Mexico
 , the St Louis, Brownsville &
Mexico
 , and the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railways. In 1908 the Federal government began
work
  on a project to connect Corpus Christi harbour with Aransas Pass by a channel 82 ft. deep at low water and 75 ft. wide at the bottom, following a natural depression between the two bays. Corpus Christi is a summer and winter resort, with a very dry equable climate (average annual mean, 70.2 F.) and good bathing on the horse-shoe
beach
  of Corpus Christi Bay. The city has an extensive
coasting
  trade, and exports fruit, early vegetables, fish and oysters. There was a small Spanish
settlement
  here at an early date, but no American
settlement
  was made until after the Mexican War. Corpus Christi was the base from which General Zachary Taylor made his forward
movement
  to the Rio Grande in 1846. It was chartered as a city in 1876.
