Nueces County, County administrative division in Texas, United States.
Nueces County spans across southeastern Texas, featuring coastal plains, marshes, and inland bay systems along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline.
Established in 1846, the county derived its name from the Nueces River and developed significantly during the oil industry expansion of the 1950s.
Local traditions merge Hispanic and Anglo-American influences through regional festivities, music performances, and seaside community gatherings throughout the year.
The county government operates from the courthouse at 901 Leopard Street in Corpus Christi, providing essential administrative services to residents.
The county's jurisdiction extends over multiple municipalities, including Corpus Christi, which maintains the largest deep-water port in the region.
