About Texas Almanac
The Galveston News issued the first edition of the Texas Almanac in January 1857, 21 years after Texas won its independence from Mexico and only 12 years after it became a state. Over the years the Texas Almanac has become a reference book on resources, industries, commerce, history, government, population, and other subjects relating to the political, civic, and economic development of Texas.
The almanac is currently edited by Elizabeth Cruce Alvarez and Robert Plocheck.
