Everything about The San Jacinto River totally explained
The
San Jacinto River runs from
Lake Houston in
Harris County, Texas to
Galveston Bay.
In the past, it was home to the
Karankawa Indians.
There are two forks to the San Jacinto river, simply known as the East and West Forks. The west fork of the San Jacinto River feeds
Lake Conroe and flows south through
Montgomery County to meet with the east fork in northeast
Harris County to form
Lake Houston. The east fork springs in
San Jacinto County, north of the
Sam Houston National Forest. Tributaries of both forks spring within just a few miles of
Lake Livingston, a
reservoir on the
Trinity River. The east fork flows south through
Cleveland in
Liberty County as it heads to
Montgomery County and meets the north end of
Lake Houston. Continuing southward, the river meets with
Buffalo Bayou and feeds the
Houston Ship Channel.
The
Battle of San Jacinto was fought near the rain-swollen river in Harris County during the 1836
Texas Revolution. The decisive victory gave rise to the
Republic of Texas. The site is now a
state historic park. The site holds a monument to the battle, the
San Jacinto Monument, which is taller than the
Washington Monument.
