About Gonzales
Gonzales is a city in the U.S. state of Texas, with a population of 7,165 at the 2020 census. It is the county seat of Gonzales County. Gonzales was the site of several integral events in the Texas Revolution, including the Battle of Gonzales, the "Come and Take It" incident, the ride of the Immortal 32 to the Battle of the Alamo, and the subsequent Runaway Scrape.
The city's cattle and poultry economy is enhanced by oilfield services and light manufacturing enterprises, a short rail connection to a major Union-Pacific rail line, and lodging oil field workers from the nearby Eagle Ford Shale.
