Anahuac, County seat in Chambers County, Texas.
Anahuac sits on the northeast bank of Trinity Bay along the Texas Gulf Coast, surrounded by wetlands and coastal prairies at 9 meters elevation.
The Mexican military established Fort Anahuac in 1830, which became a focal point of tensions leading to the Texas Revolution through incidents in 1832 and 1835.
The Texas Legislature officially designated Anahuac as the Alligator Capital of Texas in 1989, celebrating this status with an annual Gatorfest at Fort Anahuac Park.
The city functions as an administrative center for Chambers County, providing government services and maintaining records for the surrounding region.
The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1963, spans extensive wetlands where visitors observe migrating birds and native alligators in their natural habitat.
