From Texas Online:
After the Treaty of Guadalupe HIdalgo was signed on Feb. 2, 1848, Charles Stillman and his partner, Samuel Belden, laid out a town that they called Brownsville. George Lyons, deputy surveyor of Nueces County, surveyed a townsite of 4,676 acres. In December 1848, Stillman, Belden, and Simon Musina formed the Brownsville Town Company and began selling lots for as much as $1,500 each.
Brownsville was made county seat of the new Cameron County on January 13, 1849, and a post office went into operation on February 3

After a series of special sessions the following year, the legislature reincorporated the city on February 7, 1853. But the title issue was not completely settled until 1879, when the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Stillman group.

ADDING the song lyrics is too-Gay, Montoya. smh
Like a pile of old shit, Brownsville is getting old, but it still stinks like shit! Take a whiff, you fucking peasants!!!
The celebration of THEIVING.
Thieving means involved in stealing things or intending to steal something.
In the midst of a heated argument, the owners of this city should have evicted the thieving guests.

EDDIE LUCIO III YOU ARE A JOKE!
FACING HECKLES ON THE FLOOR, REP.. EDDIE LUCIO III, D-Brownsville,
issued an emotionally charged warning, likely echoing the thoughts of his Democratic colleagues: “Don’t mess with me today. I’m cautioning you.
I AM PROUD COCO-HILLBILLY
and will not stand for it.”
Brownsville was better in 1848
The inconvenient truth about charter schools ‘success’: They weed out students; traditional public schools must teach all
Joto stuff, Juan.
In regards to the Stillman's and Juan Cortina issue, The very first legislature, Treaty of Guadalupe of Hidalgo in 1848, was made regarding the PROTECTION of the PORCIONES and LAND GRANTS that the King of Spain granted to the Heirs of these Land Grants. It specifically addresses the protection of the titles of these grants. The Land grants and Porciones were not public property of the state of Texas. Titles to these grants were to remain with the Heirs and they had the titles to these grants. If the first Legislation, which was the TREATY OF GUADALUPE HIDAGO, was not honored then the rest of the legislations that follow were haven't got a leg to fall on. There is a case on point the in 1852, the Porcion 64, which was granted to Jose Gomez, in 1767 by king of Spain, The state of Texas didn't respect more less honor the Treaty of Guadalupe, but the Gomez fought with evidence of Title and in 1852 the land was relinquish back the Heirs of Jose Gomez. It took 85 years to get it right. As you can see 1853 the Supreme court of Texas made sure that no other case came to light. CORRUPTION is what Texas is build on./
Taking the side of the murderers and theives "que bueno" and they claim they represent the local citizens, lets elect them again and again and let the FBI catch them sooner or later. Y A LA CARCEL TODOS!!!
Despite all the carping, moaning and name calling Brownsville is here and the highest court in the land validated the Stillman's right to the property. Because of some self inflicted racial inequality the local population wants to wallow in generations old self pity.
Grow up people and do something to make this town a fit place to live for all.
The dates were kept secret and most attorneys at the time were on the take just like your idot el pendejo manipulated the system. This has been going on since day one and we all know it.
If this had happened to a gringo they would cry until we land on Pluto.
What is that gringo saying "we learn from the pass to make the future great".
Future generations need to know how and why the gringos came to pocess these lands so it won't happen again.
What is light refreshments and no pizza?
I hope it rains and floods the crap out that stupid celebration pinche pendejos...
