Artesian Park, located at 524 Twigg Street in Corpus Christi, Texas, is a historical site managed by the Corpus Christi Parks Department. The park, which is recognized by the Texas Historical Commission, features historical interpretive information and exhibits that highlight its significance in the region's history.
Established on land donated in 1854 by Henry Kinney, the founder of Corpus Christi, Artesian Park is notable for its role during the winter of 1845. At that time, hundreds of tents were set up in the area to accommodate U.S. soldiers responding to a territorial dispute with Mexico before they progressed southward to claim the Rio Grande as Texas's southern boundary.
