Spanish Camp, Texas

Spanish Camp is an unincorporated community in north central Wharton County, in the U.S. state of Texas.

During the time when Stephen F. Austin and the Old Three Hundred were allowed to begin Anglo-American settlement, a community was established near the site.

In 1836, during the Texas Revolution, Santa Ana's Mexican army bivouacked near a sulphur spring on Peach Creek.

There is a legend that the Mexican army buried their military payroll of gold coins in the panic that followed their defeat at the Battle of San Jacinto.

In 1905, the post office closed[2] and the Camp Zion Cemetery was set up on land donated by the Duncan family.
