Victoria is proud of our incredible Hispanic heritage, and to show that we have installed new street signage in Downtown Victoria highlighting the original street names in the Guadalupe Victoria colony townsite! Take a walk through downtown Victoria and see the streets named after the original Ten Friends of Victoria! All were influential Mexican figures of the time, who our founder Martin de Leon honored with street names. Just another piece of the fascinating history that makes Victoria so unique!
