San Patricio County

San Patricio County is an administrative region in Texas along the Gulf of Mexico, encompassing coastal plains and agricultural lands. The territory covers flat terrain with mixed land uses within the Corpus Christi metropolitan area.

The region developed in 1845 when Irish Catholic families established settlements through contracts with the Mexican government. These early settlers brought their traditions and names, shaping the area's development.

The population of 68,755 residents represents a combination of Hispanic, White, and African American communities, with strong agricultural and administrative traditions.

Visitors can reach local government offices in town centers for information about services and activities in the region. Most administrative facilities are located in larger towns that are easily accessible from the Gulf.

The county maintains specific emergency coordination through its 911 Coordinator office, managing responses across 693 square miles of land territory.
