Mexia was born in 1800 in Jalapa, and his rather short life was ended in 1839 by a Mexican firing squad. He was a close friend of Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin and other Texas revolutionists.
Mexia was established in 1871 and named for the family that donated the town site. It’s pronounced Muh HAY uh, but residents call it “A great place no matter how you say it!”. In 1921, Mexia’s first oil gusher blew in and things got so rowdy, that for part of the following year the town was under military control.
