De León's Colony was the only empresario colony in Texas that consisted mostly of Mexican families. The Colony was established in 1824 after Martín de León (1765-1833) petitioned the provincial deputation of Texas for permission to settle forty-one families from Tamaulipas on the lower "reaches" of the Guadalupe River.

Hope this was atleast a little helpful! Have a good day :)
