The community of 209.3 square miles, with an estimated population of 50,180 in 2015, is the county seat of surrounding galveston county and second-largest municipality in the county.

Galveston, or galvezs first european settlements on the galveston island were built around 1816 by french pirate louis-michel aury to help the fledgling republic of mexico fight for independence from spain, along with other colonies in the western hemisphere of the americas in central and south america in the 1810s and 1820s. The port of galveston was established in 1825 by the congress of mexico following its independence from spain.
