Large tracts of land were granted by Spain and Mexico between 1716 and 1836. From 1823 to 1830, Mexico established a colonization policy providing land for immigrants to settle in colonies under impresarios such as Stephen F. Austin. Each colony had its own land office. All land offices were closed by the provisional government of [[Texas]] in November 1835 due to the pending revolution. | Large tracts of land were granted by Spain and Mexico between 1716 and 1836.
