Robertson's Colony was an empresario colonization effort during the Mexican Texas period. It is named after Sterling C. Robertson, but had previously been known by other names. It has also been referred to as the Nashville Colony, after the Tennessee city where the effort originated, the Texas Association, the Upper Colony, and Leftwich's Grant, named after early colonizer Robert Leftwich. The eventual contract spread over an area that includes all or part of thirty present-day counties in Texas. ==Counties within Robertson's Colony== The original 1824 contract secured by Robert Leftwich included all or part of seventeen present-day Texas counties. The 1827 transfer of the contract from Leftwich to the Texas Association added territory that included all or part of an additional thirteen counties. *Bastrop *Bell *Bosque *Brazos *Brown *Burleson *Burnet *Callahan *Comanche *Coryell *Eastland *Erath *Falls *Hamilton *Hill *Hood *Jack *Johnson *Lampasas *Lee *Limestone *McLennan *Milam *Mills *Palo Pinto *Parker *Robertson *Somervell *Stephens *Williamson 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robertson's Colony」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
