Background

The land where the parks sits was part of the Llano Grande Land Grant granted to Juan José Hinojosa in 1776 by Charles IV of Spain.[3] In early 2000, the state of Texas pieced together the current park from a variety of separate parcels.[3]

The Arroyo Colorado and Llano Grande Lake border the park on the south.[3]
