Palacios ( ) is a city in Matagorda County, Texas, United States. The population was 5,153 at the 2000 census. ==Etymology== Popular local legend states that the area was named Tres Palacios ("Three Palaces") several centuries ago by shipwrecked Spanish sailors who claimed they saw a vision of three palaces on the bay. Historians believe it was more likely named for José Félix Trespalacios, an early Mexican governor of Texas. The town was originally called Trespalacios, but shortened its name due to a nearby post office already using the longer version.〔Mary L. Griffin, "PALACIOS, TX," Handbook of Texas Online (http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hfp01), accessed May 03, 2011. Published by the Texas State Historical Association.〕 The name is pronounced to rhyme with "splashes," unlike the original Spanish pronunciation.〔http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txmatago/hmn_pa_pavilions.htm Palacios Pavilions〕
