Baffin Bay (Texas)

Baffin Bay is a bay in South Texas, an inlet of the larger Laguna Madre. Located near the Gulf of Mexico, Baffin Bay forms part of the boundary between Kenedy County and Kleberg County.
==Etymology==
The history of the bay name is unclear. The most popular story is that Captain Mifflin Kenedy (1818–1895),〔(Captain Mifflin Kenedy )〕 after visiting the Arctic Baffin Bay as a young man, gave the same name to the bay in Texas because of the remarkable contrast between the bays. The Arctic Baffin Bay is located between the Baffin Island of Canada and Greenland, and it is about a million times larger by volume than the Baffin Bay in Texas.〔〔McKee, p. 2〕〔(Baffin Bay ), Great Soviet Encyclopedia (in Russian)〕
