Goliad

/ɡoʊˈliæd/ noun

Definition

A city in Texas, known historically as a Spanish colonial settlement and site of the Goliad Massacre during the Texas Revolution.

Etymology

Named from Spanish 'La Bahía de Espíritu Santo' (Bay of the Holy Spirit), later abbreviated to Goliad. The name may derive from rearranged letters of 'Hidalgo,' or from local indigenous names.

Kelly Says

Goliad was the site of one of the bloodiest moments in Texas history—in 1836 over 300 Texian prisoners were executed there, and it became a rallying cry for 'Remember Goliad!' during the revolution.
